[mythtv-users] OT: Aspect ratio broadcast rant

My aspect ratio saga with the channel has ended but it feels like a hollow
victory.

After the network operations head CC's the station engineer into the
conversation I wake up this morning to discover the retro network is now
properly broadcasting in 4:3. However the station guy sends us photos of a
monitor and signal device showing the pillarboxed channel. "It's been like
this all along."

Except last night TSReader showed the signal as 480 X 480i 16:9 and this
morning it's 720 X 480i 4:3. Obviously a change was made but you can tell
by the tone of their responses that the network guy is accepting the
station guy's version of events.

Ain't that the way the world turns.
