Considering Sci-fi puts so many shows in "widescreen" but is still a 
standard def channel, I hardly watch it.  A "widescreen" program in a 
4:3 window on a 16:9 54" TV leaves black bars all the way around.  Going 
to "zoom" mode makes all the pixels about the size of golf balls and is 
totally unwatchable.  I wish Sci-fi would launch an HD channel (or if 
they have, our cable company here would carry it).
