Thankyou for replying back,
However you are wrong in your answer. With all due respect, i had already checked with CBS studios in the US before messaging you as i knew i would get a generic response

I can tell you there are various websites including the official Star Trek website that ALL say the same..... it was remastered in original native 4:3. I believe the DVD's states that "T.O.S" are true 4:3 remastered copies also. The reason for not cropping the image was to be faithful to the original show, and out of respect to fans (in terms of image quality). You can check online if you wish or your partners in the US.

So the conclusion is that CBS UK for some strange reason crops the remastered 4:3 into a 16:9, thus creating a very pixilated image as it is far too zoomed in!

CBS UK does not do this for "T.N.G" star trek series or any of your "classic" shows such as; Bonanza, Streets of San Francisco etc.

PLEASE escalate this issue to the highest person for a correct answer, and also what steps you are taking to show this to us in the uk in it's correct remastered 4:3, as was done on the dvd

PS.
I would also very much like to take issue about "T.N.G" star trek also. You are definitely not showing a remastered version on CBS UK as i have already purchased the remastered dvd and it is quite superior. Also, upon checking scene for scene you can tell the remastered edition on dvd has all special effects/bridge functions/laser beams etc. 'touched up' (cleaned) to produce a far superior image. I would appreciate you contact your source who is giving you the wrong information.

thanks
