BribieG Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 New Zealand show 'renters' (apparently pronounced Reenters - "I've only evucted sux reenters in the last sux yeers") on Channel seven is being shown in postage stamp format, (black bars all around) - obviously a 4:3 cheap format purchased from channel sheepshaggers in NZ or whatever that has been masked off top and bottom to look good on an old Kmart CRT. I rang them up just now and told them they were pathetic. They have a call centre going so if anyone is reading this pls do likewise. This is 2008 and channel 7 is pumping stuff out that was substandard back in 2003.
digitalj Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 yeah, the postage stamp format was the first thing I noticed when it started, 7 could've for the digital channels at least zoomed in a bit to maintain 14:9 aspect ratio, but only have black bars on the sides.

digitalj Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 you watch 7................there's only one reason i'd watch 7http://home.pacific.net.au/~blarterm/pic37.html most of my tv viewing is on 7. NINE is long dead (except for NRL and the occasional movie) TEN's programming isn't my taste (except their news) i.e. don't like BB, Idol, etc.
digitalj Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Are people still watching Australian FTA TV? yep, that's why ratings still exist.
BribieG Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 I've noticed tonight (episode 2) that the promos all evening - showing extracts from the show - have been zoomed to full screen. However the show is still postage stamp format so why can't they zoom that? Pathetic W4nkers and it's no wonder I'm now getting more stuff from Quickflix and BT. I'll ring them again tomorrow in business hours.
anonymous_person Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I don't get it either. I was watching it on my digital television at it looked god awful on it. Do they still make this show you call Reenters?
