Might be a daft question but why are some channels (notably UKTV related) 4:3 only? They obviously buy in 16:9 material then show it at 14:9 in a 4:3 frame.
What's the point apart from bandwidth? Annoyingly my cheaper LCD TV doesn't autoswitch between 4:3 and 16:9.
..and nothing to do with freeview but why is Formula 1 still 4:3 as well...Golf, Tennis, Football, Cricket are all widescreen and many hi-def now too
