   	Certainly possible.  I got this through DirectTV, and whatever   
   it was affected both the standard-definition sets in the house.  I   
   didn't get to see it on the high-definition set, though.   
      
   	They've always used the full-frame Tonight Show though, for   
   some odd reason.

   	I imagine someday I'll see the difference.  With my TV set   
   stubbornly going on working just fine I haven't felt the pressure to   
   upgrade or anything.
