Nimrod ,
If you are in HD 16:9 mode watching a show broadcast
in 16:9 and than change channels to a station
broadcasting in digital 4:3 which would than have
a bar on either side. How difficult is it to switch
from HD 16:9 mode to standard 4:3 mode in order
to stretch it ?
Keep in mind that I am looking at this from the
perspective of the better half using the Plasma.

don,
I always watch 4:3 in standard video (so it auto stretches...plus it looks better than stretched 16:9), and i watch 16:9 on component.... i have buttton on my device page that says "watch HD" .. when i hit that it auto goes to component 1 and switches channel on cable box to 1st hd channel....then the remote goes to a HDTV device page which mirrors the other page except for the button that says "watch Reg. Cable" (which has opposite effect)
oh ya... i have pioneer hd box from brighthouse and they have a stretch betton on their system that makes it easy to adjust (but i never use it)
