Our old CRT (but still still holding its own against new flat screens)
has about 1/2 dozen options for fitting content to panel.

Yeah, since Canada went digital our choice is spanish language, SE
Asian, PBS (3), oldies and music videos. Antennae is stuck facing North
until I get the neighbor's lift over to fix it. Our entertainment comes
from Netflix via mail. The rusty wire is just on the cusp of ability to
stream. Just above dial-up speeds now until the new fiber is down.
