i took our old telly back to Asda last night to exchange it for a new one. it was a bit weird wheeling it in on a trolley.

the new telly is a widescreen one so i can see what we were missing on the sides of the picture.

i assumed that all telly was broadcast widescreen these days. but it appears not.

i might fit some little curtains on either side of the screen like in the cinema for when the picture is not broadcast in widescreen.

Why are all DVDs recorded in widescreen?
When I watch them on my low tech "narrow screen" television it's like watching a film through the letterbox.

Because that's how they were made. Your natural range of vision is actually very widescreen - it's your TV that is the wrong shape. :-)
