I tried to explain to him the difference between 480, 720 & 1080 but he still says you can see true HD reception on a 4:3 aspect ratio because all high definition means is the scan lines.

Has anyone got an url that provides the answer to this argument?
he is right, sorry dude. TNT HD is the perfect example, its broadcast widescreen, but you can tell the picture is stretched. its 4:3 HD

Most stations all broadcast widescreen, that is the standard.

I think 4:3 sucks, and they should all have to broadcast widescreen

Edit - after further thought, I am not 100% sure. I will take a gander at some links. I know its the standard, but in relation to your argument I think your friend is right.
