"MeTV also began to carry remastered widescreen prints of some programs (such as Leave It to Beaver, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, and The Monkees) and present its program promotions in the 16:9 format; most other programming to which Me-TV has only obtained 4:3 prints are presented in an anamorphic 14:9 format." Lousy. If you value your time and your TV it would suit to get the DVDs of what you like, rather than just see only 70% of the screen with The Monkees and only 80% of the screen of The Flintstones. Don't you mind having the top and bottom of the program being cut off by MeTV?
