Thanks for your reply. I am wondering if I can send my SD cable signal into an upconverting Panasonic (or other) DVD Recorder w/ HDMI outputs and onto my hdmi-capable Plasma in 16:9 (hopefully sans Grey pillars). Watcha think?

I do know that my current older DVD Recorder will actually degrade the signal in direct relation to the DVD quality it is set at, so I am a bit leary about this expensive idea. I do like your idea of a mask.

On the other hand-- and here's a stupid question for ya--will I want an upconverting DVD player anyway to watch Standard DVDs in all it's non-stretched glory on my Plasma's in 16:9 mode? Let's figure this out and help these knucklehead manufacturers while we're at it.......
