4:3 content shown on a HD channel will always be in the correct aspect ratio i.e with black bars at the sides.
4:3 content shown on a SD channel, Gold for example, will be stretched to fill the screen (fat-o-vision)
It seems to be a matter of personal choice, for some it is a crises if the picture does not fill the screen? For myself I like everything in it's original aspect ratio so when the picture is streched I adjust it to 4:3 or maybe 14:9 using my TV's remote as opposed to the Sky remote.
I am sure it is possible to adjust the TV's AR using the Sky remote but I just cannot be bothered to fiddle about with it. Off the top of my head:- Pressing TV followed by Red or maybe Blue might do the trick.
