<    Notes

Same as last week:
Well, what can we say - TBSHD sucks. Not only are 50% of
the transmission in horrible quality and basically unusable,
they also stretch everything to widescreen even fullscreen
stuff - yeah, other HD cable channels do too - still crap.
Even worst, the HD broadcast is actually missing 16 px at
the bottom and a few on the left.
Our 201 PDTV cap got nuked because of bad AR and
overcropping - well, it wasn't us, it was TBSHD who aired
it that way. We have done some comparing using the intro of
the DSR and the HD intro, and came to the conclusion, that
the correct AR with the px diff is approximately 1.4,
so this comes in the off-spec resolution of 576*416.
We have included a source frame uncropped and in original
for your reference. We rather lose 16 px at the bottom than
suffer through the subpar quality of a DSR.

OTOH - this show sucks so bad, no one knows why TBS gave
this a second season anyway!
