This appears to be a local market issue, but Fox 50 is showing NASCAR in 4x3.
I get the same thing on OTA and Satellite, but Fox East is 16x9.

No, they would need to request waivers for you and since you receive FOX HD via DIRECTV in your local market you will get denied.

Yep. All fixed now.
I hate watching a yankee station, but I'm glad it was there tonight ;)

THink a little before posting next time.

What was on the bottom of the screen ? Answer - a weather crawl about tornadoes. Apparently Capital Broadcasting hasn't purchased the equipment to do them in HDTV yet.
