I can't see those boxes at the bottom and corners of my old 27" Sony CRT TV. They are either too fuzzy or partly off the edge of my screen. I have no control over the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the picture that Comcast sends me. Often a lot of the top and bottom is blank. They must think I have a wide screen.

Also my eyes are getting bad. I need cataract surgery in my right eye.

So I'm going to have to buy a new 50" Samsung UHD Smart TV this week. Then sign up for the HD channels. This is going to cost a lot of dough. Did I mention a new TV console (my old shelves are too small), a soundbar (most big screen speakers suck) and a DVR/VHR player so I can finally record DVDs and dub my tons of VHS tapes?

To their credit, I guarantee they got it correct after they started following the young pitcher's career.
