Ha! You should start capping if anything interesting shows up. :D

I guess my perspective's different because I never watch a film on television these days. There's always a BD or DVD or some such.

Well, I'm in the same boat, it just irritates me on principle.

And the worst thing is, they even do this on HD stations here - they broadcast a horrible, over-sharpened HD upscale of an old P&S master in pillar-boxed 1080i. I'd understand this with old 4:3 TV shows, but they often do this with older widescreen movies that already came out on BD.
