    I was watching The Simpsons on Freesat SD. I'm sure this normally
    shows shows 4:3 corrctly, which is fine for old Simpsons episodes that
    are not HD. However today the 4:3 original was stretched to 16:9. I
    switched to the non-freesat version of Channel 4 on satellite and was surprised to find it correctly displayed as 4:3. Comments?

    Who cares, it's such ?????? anyway.

    What do you mean by non-Freesat version of C4 ?  The HD version of C4 
    that isn't carried on the Freesat EPG  ?

    Anyway, probably related to the fact they've been in disaster recovery
    mode since the catastrophe at Red Bee in September, although I think
    they may finally be back there now.
