Gee, I’m now starting to think that the MATV system where I stayed on the Central Coast last month wasn’t that bad…although it was still extremely disappointing to see two (later one) Foxtel channels out of action and unwatchable regional channel reception for almost all the trip!
Ahh, that stretched picture reminds me of when pubs/clubs first upgraded their main screens to widescreen plasmas & Foxtel Digital more than a decade ago while often still keeping smaller 4.3 CRT (or in some cases, LCD) sets.
Woah, now that’s really dodgy!
