Default Horizontal and Vertical Lines on a Wide Screen TV
I've got a good one for you guys and girls.

My mom has a widescreen 16:9 Sony LCD TV about 2 years old. She only receives OTA digital channels through her Sony (with a built in tuner). She calls me up last night and asks me why on earth she has horizontal bars AND vertical bars. The horizontal I could explain real easily because of the different aspect ratios, etc, used when a TV show or movie is being filmed.

My question is, why do some digital broadcasts still have the vertical bars on the TV screen? I thought that all dtv broadcasts were going to be in 16:9 widescreen format.
