WWEHD question

[graeme2020uk]

Ok this is a question for the geeks. I watch WWE on my 42" lcd television.Not upgraded to HD just yet but ive noticed on the downscaled broadcast that the WWEHD logo is just at the edge of the screen.Only part of the 'W' is visible.So that means im missing part of the picture at either end.Now on other forums ive noticed a few ppl have this problem and the general responses are that skys transmission is ' unstable ' and that its nothing to do with wwe.Its to do with the settings on the tv.

My tv is an LG.Which i thought was a good make.And going through the different formats like Wide and 4:3 and 16:9 and Anamorphic and 14:9 ive realised it doesnt change the picture at all.Even in 4:3 all it does is add to grey bars at either side...........and from what is visible,the WWEHD logo is still right at the edge of the screen.

 

I dont know what i did or wether its a fault with the tv but i was going through some other stuff and the screen flickered and for a second the entire WWEHD logo appeared in full view........but even then it was only for a few seconds.But i would still have been missing part of the picture anyway.Anyone any ideas?

Could be something to do with a conversion from US NTSC TV to European PAL? I'd say it was caused by Sky, rather than your TV. Looking at the Raw re-run now, the left part of the 'W' is missing off my 42' Panasonic too.

So maybe the HD version is not affected at all then? Its just ive see people post screenshots of shows when they first started airing it in HD/widescreen (huge amount of excitement at the time) and from their tvs it looked fine.The Sky sports logo was much more centred.The WWEHD logo was clearly visible with maybe....another inch or so of screen visible at the side.I know it doesnt sound like much but its still irritating to find out part of the picture is missing.

 

I suppose some people have the problem........some dont.Its just annoying me and putting me off upgrading altogether.

 

Also from what you were saying about conversion.From what i understand with HD that isnt a factor.There is no NTSC/PAL issue at all.There should be no conversion at all needed.When Sky broadcast the HD versions of the shows,they just downscale it for the SD broadcast.The dont have a separate tape or anything.
