I cannot get over the air signals in my area,I have tried.I cannot

required,because the cost is prohibitive.I priced an amateur radio
tower that is field collapsible (because of storms) and the quoted
price was $5400 installed.For just 7 channels in my demographic
area,that would not be cost effective,hence my use of DirecTV and
satellite. I live in a small town that is considered semi-rural about 160 miles
away from the major DMA near me.

Thanks for the replies.As to what is wrong with
side bars,nothing really.I just find it funny that I cannot use part
of the TV I am paying for.

As funny as buying something you can't use?

Essentially at this time,(I probably will get HD
within the year) I guess I will just have to use 4:3 mode until I get
it.
