When will most TV programs be broadcasted in HD?

Why are hd programs on tv full screen and ripped blu rays are not?

  • All the ripped blu rays i have from my friend have those black bars, and when i change the aspect ratio to fill the screen, some of the movie gets cut off. However, the HD channels ...show more

  • Answer:

    Wikipedia has good info on aspect ratios. As you pointed out, your TV's aspect ratio is 16:9. Cable or Satellite TV companies provide movies in that aspect ratio so they fill your TV screen. Movies are typically shot in 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 nowadays. So when you get a Blu Ray movie, they stay true to what the movie was actually intended to be presented as. Hence the black bars on Blu Rays.
