Widescreen x Fullscreen
I remember a long time ago, a friend of mine called Ademar arguing in favor of widescreen video playback. He sent to me a lot of links with irrefutable proofs of widescreen superiority. After this I became a widescreen-fanboy as well.
When I was a SKY (a Brazilian company of cable TV) subscriber, I was used to watch Lost in AXN channel, but when I saw some episodes previews in the Internet, I just figured out that AXN/Sky transmission of Lost is fullscreen. My TV was doing zoom in the image, so it always looked to me like a 16:9 transmission (shame on me, at this time I didn’t care about image quality and TV setup like nowadays).
Now and after I must wait to buy a whole Lost season in stores. Here are some pictures of how the same Lost footage looks in my TV from AXN Brazil (fullscreen) and CTV Canada (widescreen) broadcast.
"Fullscreen sucks" - as said by my friend Ademar
Now you can see the "extra actor" on the left

How can you get the signal from CTV Canada (with pt_BR subtitles!) in Brazil?

Eu acompanho “on the fly” Lost baixando os videos através do torrent, existe versões dos videos em 720p com qualidade bem superior!
Porém realmente e bem melhor assistir em DVD, so que não consigo esperar tanto tempo!
