No there are just 4:3 and 16:9 channels. The 21:9 TV just zooms and crops letterboxes pictures to fill the screen, the same as using the zoom mode on a normal widescreen TV with a letterboxes image.

as passingbat says my tv does zoom but its zooming things that are all ready being streatched from 4.3 to 16.9 that leaves them unwatchable ie gold and other stations playing old reruns

If 4:3 programmes are being stretched to 16:9 then you probably have your STB set to 720 Wide or 1080 Wide. Changing to 720 or 1080 will prevent this and correctly frame 4:3 content within vertical bars.
