Default Fox HD not widescreen tonight - Comcast

Both House and 24 were not in Widescreen format tonight, I have to use the Zoom aspect on my Panny Plasma as I don't like the stretched looked. Anyone else notice this and if so anyone know what happened? The local news (channel 2 SF-Oakland) came on after 24 and, of course, it was in HD normal widescreen.

Comcast just passes the OTA feed. They don't have anything to do with the broadcast.

If you see a problem on ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC, you should call the affiliate and ask for the engineering department.

Both House and 24 were shown in full HD (widescreen and DD5.1) by our local FOX station, WFFF-DT in Burlington, VT.
