No. We get HBO Canada.
HBO Signature is available in Asia.

Just put it on Stretch like my dad does. Swears it looks fine. No need to splurge for HD programming.

I'm sure it will air on HBO Canada at some point, just maybe not for the Dec 26 marathon. The HD remaster is also being released on Blu-ray next summer.

They actually filmed it in 16:9, but Simon wanted to show it in 4:3.
But it looks like they're releasing it in 16:9

The only way to make it look decent would be to pan and scan it like they've done with all the 'Seinfeld' episodes.
I would enjoy that immensely.

...so how will the show look in widescreen HD? According to HBO, the process has been achieved by rescanning over 8,000 reels of original negatives, with extensive work to make sure it retains the feel of the original broadcast.
