I've noticed this before on the pre-LCR3 software. Although it's not one of the official setups of the NTL software, the boxes are capable of sending 4:3 pictures (and 14:9 as well) in a vertical letterbox. The reason I know that it's not the TV doing this is that if you bring up the guide while this is happening it stretches the whole width of the screen (whereas if the TV was doing the letterboxing the guide would be in the centre of the picture).
