You have it the wrong way round. The wide modes do the opposite of what you're saying and stretch 4:3 SD programmes to fit the screen.

Turning overscan on when your box is set to HD though will not just hide this unwanted data, it will also crop the picture on a HD image that doesn't need overscan.

I have the same issue on my TV, but I've learned to ignore it.
