Channels that you can guarantee are always in one format, so you can check the STB and/or TV are working properly. (I use News24 for an "always wide" test channel).

I think UK Gold is fairly safe as a 4:3 test channel for the moment as far as switching is concerned, but they do broadcast stuff letterboxed to 14:9 sometimes.
