Throw 4:3 countries out of EUFA?

[Caned Toad]

I wanted a poll, but I guess I'm not allowed, makes sense, stops idiots like me making stupid polls.

Well I'm watching MOTD now (yeah I can touchtype ;)) and am being subjected to a 4:3 picture, which really sucks, its 2006, not 1986.

There's rules on stadiums, so why can't broadcasters be made to use widescreen cameras?

I did notice last night in the Wales game that some cameras appeared to 16:10(ish) whereas the main one was proper 16:9, which was odd, black bars appearing and disappearing down the sides.

Maybe its expensive and unfair, but so what I want width, Steve McLaren agrees, at least I think that's what he meant

Bearing in mind that probably 80% or more of European viewers watch TV on older 4:3 format televisions, I think it may be hard to insist on this.

When I read the thread title I though it said throw 43 countries out of Uefa.



Well it would be one way for England to win

But I want width :-cry1

Makes it worse when the BBC insist on transmitting in 16:9 (seems thier policy to not change mid programme) so those of us with 16:10 screens, and those who view letterbox on 4:3's, get a full border unless zooming manualy.

16:9 yes; 4:3 and 16:10 no!

never heard of 16:10 (4:2.5)... !

16:10 is what widescreen computer monitors are, which I have (no import duty, so cheaper) It's a good comprimise as 4:3 it still about.
