The problem is more the low bitrates than the actual resolution.
Doesn't help too with channels like Viva where they take old 4:3 NTSC programmes, convert them into PAL, blow up the picture to somewhere in the middle of 4:3 and 16:11 (losing the top and bottom) and then bung them out on a really low bitrate channel. Impossible to watch on a big screen telly with the bad colour, blurred picture and terrible pixellation.
