Widescreen

Nearly all the major shopping channels are in 16:9 widescreen now. From QVC to Gems, Sit-Up channels to JML. Isn't about time the IW joined them? They could, like a lot of the channels have 4:3 safe graphics but I still feel it would make them look better.

I asked that very same question on C & C on FaceBook, never got a reply from a C & C operative though.

It would make the fat presenters fatter.

and the camp ones camper, and the hairy ones hairier

Problem at the mo is if you have widescreen then the thin presenters look fat and the cuddly ones look huge as the image gets stretched.

Widescreen would put them back to normal :up:

It only strtches if you have your TV setup that way

If it was filmed in widescreen it won't make them fatter. As it has been said it only makes the person fatter if you stretch a 4:3 frame into 16:9

I don't think it's filmed in widescreen as the EPG on my DVBViewer says it's 4:3.
If the craft shows show something and call it square it's most definitely not square but rectangular.

I maybe wrong but I think that you can't even get a non widescreen TV these days in the shops, so as people are replacing their sets, they will be more and more widespread (no pun meant). I can't think of any of my friends who don't have a 16:9 set, I think the way are eyes are side by side, widescreen is a much better viewing angle and as I said before, they could still (like the other shopping channels) make their graphics 4:3 safe.

well I for one am not flicking it back to 4:3 just for IW.
It's time they stepped into the 21st century.

Infact they could be a forward thinking channel and not only go 16:9 but 1080i HD and be the first shopping channel in the UK
