Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?

Network logos have gotten so big and annoying and doubtful that will change anytime soon, but one pet peeve of mine is that they still insist on putting the logo/icon towards the middle of the screen, instead of hugging the side. obviously to accomodate those cheap fucks still rocking a square TV set, but at what point do you think they'll move that shit to the far side?

It's clearly for SD folks, but yeah, this has been bugging me since my first HD set 10 years ago.

I also hate it in sports. Instead of centering everything (which can obscure action in football or basketball), they could design it in a more pleasing way. The worst is you have the score "bar" and random stats/ads that pop out above the score bar taking up more screen real estate. They could move the score bar to the left and have the pop outs fly out to the right so no more vertical image is wasted.

With the logos and ads getting more animated, bigger and more elaborate, it's clear they don't give a fuck and it's not going to change anytime soon.

Well that's an attractive screenshot.

I don't recall Lost being on NBC.

I noticed MSNBC formatting last Sunday's Melissa Harris Perry with what seemed like HD-only in mind, wonder if it was just an experiment.

Until there is no extra charge for HD from cable companies, or quality off air HD antennas come free with tvs, you're stuck with it.

Not sure if you are joking, but I do recall Revolution being on NBC.

As one of those "cheap fucks" all I gotta say is

32" flatscreens can be had sub $200. So yeah, you're a cheap fuck. Enjoy your government cheese.

What I find annoying are full width white bars across the bottom with ads for another show. AMC commonly does this. During a dark scene it is like shining a flash light into your eyes. I end up looking away until it leaves.

Yes, letterboxing could allow for proper logo placement. :)

Seriously, I think they're done this way not necessarily for 4:3 screens, but rather affiliates that chop off the sides for SD instead of showing it letterboxed.

Or my tv works just fine and I don't need to replace it at the moment. That doesn't mean I'm a cheap fuck.


Enjoy your white whine.

whatever lets you sleep at night, pal.

What do off air antennas have to do with logos on the screen?

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

Well, certainly not my tv! I switch it off :)...buddy.

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

Well, whatever it is I'm having a hard time fapping to it.

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

Maybe the picture of Steve Buschemi will help?

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

Cable companies still charge for HD?

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

I'm a cheap fuck because I'm not going to just throw away a perfectly good 50" television and get a new one? Who cares where the stupid network logo is?!

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

Just take solace in the fact that you, I, and the literally dozens of other cheap fucks who haven't upgraded from a square tv make watching Revolution intolerable for TallGuy83! :banana:

Here you go. We all know this is more your style. Have fun.

HD requires an HD cable box which has higher monthly fee than SD box.

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

If the reason for the mid screen logos is tied to number of people not receiving 16x9 signal, then reducing that number is a move toward eliminating the mid screen logos. People with cable might choose to watch the networks over the air if they didn't have to buy yet another thing, ie. antenna. This wouldn't help with cable networks doing it though.

Re: Are they ever going to move the Network logos/icons to the side of the screen?
 

What does SD or HD have to do with where the logo goes? Why can't they put a small logo in the bottom right, or better yet, drop the logo? Do they get revenue from that logo? Who watches a network for the network anyway?

When I sit down to watch Castle, I think "I'm going to watch Castle" not "I'm going to watch ABC". Does *anyone* care about the network?

I love the HGTVs, 1080P etc... for some it is not about being cheap it is called not having the money. I know a few people that do not have a couple hundred dollars laying around to blow on a television.
