Well the answer 2 part 1 of your question is that you can do what ever you like with the picture. You're right it is 15:9 so a 16:9 broadcast will have 2 very thin bars at top and bottom in standard viewing mode. If you want it to stretch to fill the screen then you need to select "panorama".
Part 2 I'm afraid I don't understand. If you watch a 4:3 broadcast in anything other than 4:3 resolution, then you're going to get a distorted picture, so surely 4:3 on a 16:9 screen will always have 2 thick bars on either side.
Thanks!
About the 2nd question: I meant that typically one (well at least me likes to watch 4:3 broadcasts on widescreen TV so that the picture fills the screen quite well but the picture is not stretched in any way but just "zoomed in", and in the best case the part I am not seeing are some black bars top and down in the 4:3 broadcast.
