The Deal with 4:3
Whats the deal with all the 16:9 programmes letterboxed to fit 4:3? I'm pretty sure that Sky sends most of the stuff this way, but is there stuff in 16:9 that both Sky and ntl get and re-encode to 4:3? If so, is it just a case of wanting to reduce space?

I mean, one of the major marketed benefits of digital tv was that it allowed you to get programmes in 16:9.
