grolschie: Right. But the TV1 and 2 transmissions in general are not in DD yet, as far as I can tell. Or do I need to re-tune my STB?

No they are still in AAC, TVNZ are so behind the times..even most of the movies are in SD...Take TV3 most movies they show are in HD and 5.1....Transformers last night was a good example of that!!!

Only thing is many movies like Transformers are cut 'n pasted into a 1.78:1 box from the original 2.40:1.

Jaxson: Yeah but that means no black bars and filling the screen is vitally important. Stuff the extra picture content out on the sides. One day Hollywood directors will get off their high horses and start producing movie content in the right aspect ratio of our TV sets.

I think you'll find that the movie industry got into widescreen long before the TV industry.
old3eyes: getting a 100% of the Screen they paid for.
robjg63: Philips does some 21:9 tvs - but we don't get Philips here anymore.
grolschie: re: 2.35:1 ratio, black bars, etc

Back on topic though... Who knows when TVNZ are going to flick the AC3 switch? They've got the "upmixed" surround happening for non-Dolby content in house already. Yes, that's right, stereo content will be made into surround!
