But the crux of the matter is why dont the bbc mntion this before transmitting a event then hundreds of people would not call into ntl and complain when its not a issue they can help with, when i was there it took ages to explain this to people and some still cancelled because of it stating ' my mates sky does not do it' ... well their mates flipping sky was not set up right so all his 16:9 was getting put out in 4.3.
For those of you with a issue regarding this there are 3 options.
1. Simply go to the stb settings and change from 16.9 to 4.3 for the duration of the match.
2. set your tv 4.3 all the time so your viewing picture is wrong all the time.
3. contact all of the other countries broadcasters and explain that you have black bars on your tv because of them and they should update to the 16.9 standard uk dtv uses.
