Is it possible to have Stretch To Fit options just for specific channels? I have to have it off for any 4:3 content delivered via Cable. However, when I try to watch HD subchannels like MeTV, Catchy Comedy, or Buzzr, the images are too vertically compressed to be watchable. I have to turn Stretch to Fit on for these channels to look correct. Is there an easy way to adjust for this?

Just floating this one up again to see if anyone had a solution?
The channels you listed are OTA subchannels. They are broadcast OTA in the correct aspect ratio already.... your cable co must be messing it up.
Depends on which station is broadcasting it.
I have some that broadcast SD 480i in 16:9 wide format and they look like stretch-o-vision.
Couple posts I found searching for "stretch-o-vision".

I'm speaking specifically about the OTA versions of some of these channels. The ones delivered by Cable are OK, but I'd like to not be tied to cable forever.
Yeah, I hate that local OTA broadcasters don't seem to know or care about stretching a channel that's obviously not intended to be stretched.
