so far, neither HBO nore MAX has cropped it on their hi def channels
From Wikipedia:

Quote:
On November 11, 2006 Cinemax aired all six films in rotation in both standard & High Definition. (Cinemax had never aired the original Star Wars (Episode IV) prior to this date, and at the explicit request of Lucasfilm, the high definition broadcasts were in the original scope aspect ratio.)


The six films will also be repeated on HBO in standard & High Definition. The versions of Episodes IV, V, and VI that are airing are the 2004 DVD Special Editions, as they are the current canonical versions.

Just read this yesterday.
Yeah here comes pixi. I saw Revenge of The Sith on HBO HD a few moths ago, and most action scenes were loaded with compression artifacts of pixelizations. HD TV is OK for comedy or dramas, not for fast action oriented movies. It was in OAR indeed.
episode II has so much bass in the opening scene with that giant ship flying in and then it blows up


tons of LFE
