That's great, but on standard defination or old 4:3 sets without the ability to change aspect ratio, 90% of all of Cozi's shows are stretched to 16:9 and have letterbox on the left and right side of the screen instead of top and bottom or even on all sides called postage stamped. I know about TV, worked in it for over 32 years in production, I have emailed COZI/NY several times as I receive it since launch from Time Warner Cable NY/NJ.....They never respond.......

Make Room For daddy at least airs full screen, but still stretched......there is no reason to show old shows in the wrong aspect ratio, they were not shot in 16:9 or HD.

And I understand that the standard old TV square is square, but I don't see the excitment of watching even a new game show or talk show in 16:9 and being able to feel like I'm in the audience as everything is further back, or seeing the camera men......why is this so popular?, TV shows are not movies, especially talk shows, game shows, etc. Compare it sometime, watch Jeopardy on standard and then HD....what do you gain on the sides?

Anyone that can shed light on the COZI situation? Or am I the only one....COZI is the only station of my over 1000 stations that looks like this, and I also have Antenna, MeTV, GetTV all perfect 24/7 direct feeds.

Thats good news. I will say it seems like Cozi TV is making some inroads on classic tv. They have a decent lineup right now.

I'm hoping my NBC Affiliate (WKYC) gets Cozi TV real soon...I like this show!

I've also e-mailed them about that but never got a response.

Thank you so much!!!! I was beginning to think I was the only one, as none of the "experts" here, cable company or COZI have given any explanation, I have been total ignored except now from you!

I can take watching full screen stretched versions, but left and right letterbox happens on no other channel. Call me old fashioned, but since 90% of what I own on DVD or watch is old...I hate new 16:9 disposable TV's and the picture is not as clear, it is pixeled....There is nothing like a TV with a screen made of glass!....I only have standard aspect ratio TV's and am extremely annoyed I can't even buy one anymore......C'mon record players and vinyl records are coming back and respected.

I am well versed in technology and have a over 30 year TV in perfect condition with no actual inputs, yet have 2 DVD recorders hooked up to it!

I've had Cozi for about 6 months now. You get used to it. I have a tv where you can make it wide screen, but I usually don't even bother.

treky · 05-16-2014, 08:43 PM

It's too bad that they do that. If they didn't I'd watch them; they have a lot of shows that I'd like to see.

If you have Dish Network channel 82, alot of Cozi's shows will be on that channel come June 2nd..fetv.wpengine.com/programming/

It's a shame I don't get Dish then, plus no Cozi affiliate where I am. :-(

treky · 05-26-2014, 12:37 AM

do you have ME TV and/or ANTENNA TV?

Yes, I do have Me-TV.

I dont like how Cozi presents there shows with the black boxes but you get used it. As long as the episodes are not choppy or edited, its fine with me.

icecream · 05-29-2014, 06:01 PM

This doesn't do me any good, I would have rather it come to Antenna.

Samme · 06-04-2014, 05:52 PM

I didn't think we had Cozi on Dish so it's a nice surprise to see this new-to-us fetv has it on channel 82. Great too that the picture is better than MeTV and they're putting the show on at 5pm. That's a good time of day for it. I haven't seen Run For Your Life in years and they have that on Friday nights. Marcus Welby is on daily too. Haven't seen that in many years. Good job by Cozi/fetv.
They're putting together a pretty solid schedule with better picture quality than the standard definition on MeTV and TVLand.

I didn't expect anything, but this looks like a pretty good channel that's worth watching. This channel is already better than TVLand.
