Sky News: Presentation Discussion

Your box is set to 16:9 isn't it?!

Aye it is, and the picture is cut off from the sides, and got black bars at the top and bottom....

The only thing that could fix the HD not being 16:9 would be if a little flag appears near the ticker.



Although, that'd mean they'd have to move the HD Logo.

So you don't have a widescreen television?

Notice how much the picture has shifted, they're not screening in 16:9 anymore with graphics like they did pre 10.30.

Of course I have, I've got an LG 42" HDTV...

Why do you have a photo of yesterday nights press preview?

Well then you shouldn't be getting black bars on top and bottom, and you should be seeing the whole picture. You have something wrong with your set up.

I recorded it last night and hadn't got around to deleting it, took the photo just now to illustrate - you should know that 11.30 press previews on a Monday are always good fun!

Of course I do! But I prefer the threesome, which is why I shall wait until Anna Botting returns to record.

Another sloppy problem, the current guests name, Cleveland I believe, had the end of his name cut off as it didn't fit in.

Now if the graphics were standard width on HD rather than being not as long it would have fitted in.....

I'd say it's going to be a little while before Anna Botting is back, and even then I'm guessing she may change hours as the late shift is not really suited to a mother with a young child. I think Anna Jones has improved though with Kevin and Andrew and is now more relaxed with them than she was at first.

Exactly. Anna Botting, Kevin Maguire and Andrew Pearce are the dream team on the Monday night Press Preview!
