Formula 1 and BBC.

I love F1. Got myself a 50 inch plasma TV and Sky HD. Great for watching sports and movies.

BUT.

The BBC insist on leaving the race leader board on the screen during qualifying! Thats ok if your watching on the old 4:3 screens as the leader board runs down the left hand side of the screen.

Guess what happens when you spend your hard earned pennies on a good sized wide screen TV and Sky HD. The race leader board is a third of the way accross the screen covering most of the race. Come on BBC turn it off, scroll the info accross the bottom of the screen.

Most channels broadcast in wide screen so why don't you sell your preastoric "black and white" portable and drag yourself into the 20th century. Buy a Widescreen TV that will allow you to watch the extra 6 inches of picture that they've been broadcasting for the last 10 years.

If your in the UK, 2011 will see us all watching a digital picture, no more anolog so you'll need to change your arial too.

Fits perfectly on both my TVs that I watch it on.

But LOL!

I shall check next time and see if it does it on my 50"

 

[Rigby]

Works fine on our TV, cant remember if its 42" or 47", with SkyHD also.

If its a 50 inch Widescreen it will be the same. It won't effect a 50 inch 4:3 screen, only Widescreens.

no-one has a 50" 4:3 tho??

sky setup correctly?

If your in the UK, 2011 will see us all watching a digital picture, no more analog so you'll need to change your aerial too.

[Kier]

Yes - the BBC are not putting that graphic on the screen - it's the FOM feed, same all over the world.

You need to direct your anger at Bernie's mob... Good luck with that!

Our 26" Toshiba is widescreen, well 16:9 anyway. I don't think any LCD or Plasma set is 4:3. But then I think someone may have already said that.

Is that a Pioneer you've got there?

 

[custard]

panasonic

 

[Oakley28]

Got a 42" LG LED HDTV and F1 looks and fits perfectly
