Well, my confusion is as follows:

In Canada here, we saw them as "widescreen" (well, black bars on top and
bottom of the screen).  I know this because I have 4 episodes on tape
(unfortunately, I was unable to tape any of the others :( ).  So... will
they be black barred as if they were being aired in "widescreen" on regular
TVs (like a non-anamorphic dvd), or will they be fully full-screen discs?

Ae.

In one of the dumbest decisions in the history of...well, dumb decisions, some
places did that to keep continuity with the widescreen B5 eps, figuring no one
would notice that it wasn't really wide.
