Movie Collector OH

I had to draw the line someplace. It was a design choice. As the mathematical symbols imply, 45 min and up.

https://www.moviecollectoroh.com/reports/1)movies-only.htm This is the link to go to for general quantitative info. For exactly this reason I have included a "unique" column which doesn't measure reruns (per year). This is the first column after the = sign. If anything, that works against the figures of classic-era movies being aired, reducing the amount of times certain classic-era high repetition entries like NBNW are counted. Only feature-length (>= 45 min) movies are counted in this report, not shorts or other often repeating interstitial titles. Comedy shorts like Laurel & Hardy are left out too - as that would disproportionately inflate the overall numbers of classic-era movies. The last column in my report isn't used for production decade percentages (as some on here do by hand each month), it is used for something else. Prior to 2000 there are still some missing months, the proportions represent what is counted.

Just pointing out that cell phones have not actually 'replaced' anything. Those people are just doing different things these days. Probably off your intended point.

Meh... That is no more the case than it is between creators and end users. In my case a $2000 new laptop.

I noticed there was a small change at the mothership yesterday, so I had to make a tiny little adjustment to my "new feed" schedule and now it is back up and running. At first that was a ho-hum moment for me, but it also indicated something a bit more interesting had happened: 😁 Individual Time Zone-specific data was added to the official schedule site yesterday, rather than just Eastern TZ data and client-side offsets for all other TZ. For the first time, Eastern TZ now needs to be specified. I also verified the same for Central TZ, presumably the rest already do or will, and presumably the capability is now there on the official website to use it, or will be soon. (Previously the time was all relative to Eastern TZ, using client-side JS in the browser. Now the server delivers different predetermined data for each TZ, apparently to avoid client-side complications and intricacies with the browser JS and 3rd party TZ servers.) I don't use the official site and I am in the Eastern TZ which was usually correct anyway, so maybe viewers from other TZ might be interested in checking it out. See if the times are correct on the official site now for the non-Eastern TZ.

So was it an SD output connected to an SD input?

A compromise of sorts no doubt. Hopefully it remains limited in use.

Actually it has. I must ha' missed it.

My Dinner With Andre (1981). (Paramount distribution channels I think) And why not... It would fit right in with some of the crap they have been playing overnight. No perfunctory bedroom scenes with the half nude babe though, so that might be a let down for some.

Ok let's think "old school" here. Maybe a big long button all along the right side (for those who are right-handed), so it changes each time you reach out and whack it?

Do you have any evidence to support that though?

My own source, who has painstakingly created an independant broadcast log going back to the beginning of 2011 (making a record of every single thing shown - not just what's on the schedule - but what was actually shown), has given me data which agrees with cmovieviewer. Before that my data relies on published official schedules, so something might have happened then. Multiple times? I kind of doubt it. It would have had to have fallen through the cracks each and every time.

Wow, I would have thought that by now everyone had TCM available on an HD channel. This would solve many issues, or rather prevent issues, from trying to frame an SD picture and its associated matting to an HD TV. Just to confirm, all my diagrams assume the channel is delivered over an HD channel to begin with. My scenarios 3 & 4 (native HD) might not even exist then in the case of an SD channel, but might be replaced with a couple other alternate scenarios involving an HD transfer, with SD matting added intended for an SD TV, then delivered to the HD TV. Yuck.

Just think. With enough HD/SD permutations, the possibilities could be endless. Infinity Mirror I know, not much help...

People like that simply cannot be reached. 😁

That (my #2 diagram above or #4 diagram) has a much better look than the upscaled Widescreen SD (my #1 diagram above), simply because all the originally scanned pixels are still there, represented 1:1 or better, whereas the widescreen film has first been reduced to fit the SD screen, then enlarged again if you are zooming in to fill your HD screen with it.

To round off the topic introduced with the pics above, here are two other likely combinations, unrelated to the OP situation. These forego the intermediate step of an SD transfer. They are direct-to-HD transfers. Note that scenario #2 (from above) and #4 both result in the same aspect ratios, though #2 is upscaled SD and #4 is native HD which will have a higher resolution.

Yes, many large screen TVs can be adjusted for that. The image will not be very clear though, depending on how much you have to stretch the image, as the source was reduced to fit into an SD frame in the first place.

The respective owners/holding companies have a bigger backlog of work to do here. Many titles on TCM. What you are seeing when this happens is older film transfers, produced before the days of HD TVs, Blu Ray and HD streaming.

Looks promising. Thanks!

Most likely reason is the source material they used for that airing was once formatted for "standard definition", then that was recycled and later formatted for "widescreen". See my diagram below. This is the first two rows of this diagram, scenario #1).

1. You're welcome 3. P.S. oops nevermind - my problem. I see what happened. 4. I noticed that too about the end of the March, which hasn't changed in a while. I'll quote you again if I see an update.
