Mine is using HDMI - DVI and most things are 4:3 safe (except widescreen and HD content).

I mean, the EPG is 4:3 (so doesn't fill the entire screen as it does normally). Interactive stuff is in the 4:3 area. "Press red" appears in the 4:3 area. "Home" (the menus) are all 4:3 with black bars down the side.

Changing to 720 wide is horrible. I hate stretched 4:3 pictures on channels which don't broadcast in 16:9. I guess we have to keep it as a smaller version, rather than full screen (unless you want to see most of the channels stretched, making the people look smaller and fatter :p)
