I read that the BBC world news channel (512) switched from broadcasting in a letterbox format which they have been doing for years to widescreen in January. However, now whevever I watch BBC it is displayed in 4:3 and the left and right edges have been chopped off! You can't read the titles etc they put on the screen! I tried changing my decoder output to 16:9 but nothing changes. Oh, and I do have a widescreen TV

Is it possible to get this channel (or indeed any channel on astro) in widescreen? I HATE stretching the image, watching a 4:3 image in the middle of the screen or zooming etc, I just want widescreen!!!

Thanks

Ok, thanks guys :sad: I heard the HD decoder 'Astro plus' is coming out this year. Does that mean some HD channels are in the works?
I want to stay optimistic

Wow, my thread about changing BBC to widescreen has moved on quite a bit!
