Default Can someone explain the type of viewing on Me-TV? I don't like it

The screen looks funny and It's the only channel that looks like that. What is this type of screen called?

Full Screen? I have my antenna hooked to a my trusty old tube full screen television set. I have my converter box set to Full Screen. In Widescreen, I get the black bars on the side. Flipping through all of my over the air channels, they look the same to me. Are you viewing Me-TV on a cable system? On a widescreen TV?

There is definitely some type of problem,because that is not how the picture is supposed look.Maybe it's from the cable company or who knows what.Even on their facebook page they have had a number of complaints about this issue from different parts of the country.Me-TV themselves should really get to the bottom of this already.

I don't blame you,still though that's one channel you want working properly.At your leisure you may want contact Me-TV and let them know there's a problem with the picture in your area.It may not help,but it can't hurt.
