channels

This is driving me crazy but lately TV channels have been taking programs originally recorded in 16:9 and are distorting it to something like 2.39:1 so that there are black bars about 10% of the height of the screen on the top and on the bottom. And worse taking old 4:3 programming and...

I went to see a film at an AMC movie theater today. On each of the side walls, there were about 8 speakers while the back wall had about 4(I didn't count so I cant be exact). This is the case in most movie theaters where there are several visible surround speakers. The fronts, center, and...
