i didn't target any specific show or movie... i said exactly what i meant to
say... some HD shows/movies do not fill the screen... they have empty bands on
the top and bottom... i think it is called letterbox but my understanding is
that only applies to some converted entities... not those that are shot and
transmitted/projected in HD...

the situation with TNG is different... it is a non-HD show being converted to
HD and retaining its original dimensions...

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.
