Gotta love HDTV - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Ok, I decided to watch TV last night (and I rarely watch broadcast TV in favor of movies) and I turned to NBC. I get HDTV via Comcast and the pic below is how it looked on my TV.

Excuse the darkness of the photo since I had the flash turned off.

EDIT: The red lines mark where the top of the screen is to the top of the image displayed. NBC was the only channel that looked like that.

Peace...

Where the hell is his head?

In the microwave?

(I hope that red marker comes off your screen by the way)

Is that like a 5:5 to 1 aspect ratio?!

Super-double-very-widescreen edition.

There appears to be a fly stuck to the lower-right of the screen also, and someone wrote some letters there too.

That's the NBC logo. That appears during HD broadcasts.
