Might be something to do with the way the TiVo (well I'm assuming that's what you're using) handles pillarboxing. Some channels broadcast the black bars either side of the 4:3 image so the TiVo stays in widescreen mode, other times the TiVo adds them in assuming you have it set to Panel mode. Sometimes one or the other is incorrect and you end up with a windowboxed image... very annoying.
