Default Help, HDTV on 4:3? - 02-08-2009, 02:41 PM

i have a hdtv ready tv that is in 4:3 aspect ratio so is it worth it to get a hdtv box from my cable company? what will the tv do with the hdtv programming that is made for a 16:9 ratio?

thanks in advance!

the aspect ratio won't cause any problems, it'll just be like watching a widescreen dvd, it'll have a black box on the top and bottom. problem is now that hdtv is all set in widescreen so if you have a bigscreen tv that is 4:3 you will never get everything out of hdtv you will have to purchase a widescreen hdtv so it is definitely worth it to get a hdtv box it will even convert digital signals for home theater.

hope this helps
