I let 4:3 stretch to 16:9
I don't like pillarboxing. If I am watching a standard def show, it is going to look crappy on my HDTV anyway, so why no let it fill the screen?

I get more annoyed at HD channels that pillarbox the SD commercials (although I am betting the advertisers are the ones who require it).

I have 65" of widescreen. I want it filled!
