Noted in the latest Skywatch these channels have gone 16:9 widescreen as of today. There was one other (music) channel mentioned but I don't have the Skywatch with me as I am writing this.

Why would you want to put Playhouse in widescreen? Seems bloody silly to me. I don;t have a widescreen TV and my kids will now have to look at black bars or lose part of the screen (if I set it up for 4:3 centrecut).

Lots of kids have old TV's in rumpus rooms that are 4:3...

Well one would think that enough of there source material is now in 16:9. I don't get your point as any wide-screen material would have been either centre cut or letter boxed before anyhow.

Is seeing black bars really that much of a problem?
