The biggest crime of syndication is The Office on TBS. They take a show that was made for real HD, use the letterboxed SD version, stretch it, and call that HD. I find that be absolutly appaling.
Also, what's the deal with Discovery Channel HD? They don't quite stretch, but more of a zoom. I've been watching Rise of the Video Game and I can't read most of the interviewees profession as it's cut off by the bottom of the screen from zooming. How can they possibly consider that to be acceptable? I'd rather see the show in pilar boxed 4:3 than this zoomed BS. IF anything, that's what TBS should do with the letterboxed Office reruns.
