Anyone else watching on ESPN3 not receiving a widescreen feed?

It's 2012, there shouldn't be black bars on the sides of my TV.

Only so many HD tie lines between ESPN and MLB Advanced Media, who does the streaming. Just an infrastructure thing, and our game isn't high enough priority.

This is a bit technical, but hang with me for a minute. The games so far this year on ESPN3 exclusively have all been produced in what is called anamorphic widescreen SD, similar to how widescreen DVDs are encoded. It travels through the system "squished" into a 4:3 box and gets stretched back out on the other end. This game, as it is being produced in true HD, when it goes through the SD lines, it gets center-cut.

Thats too bad. The TV feed (I'm in buffalo, so I'm getting it on cable) looks beautiful...of course it is in Athens, so how else would it look
