Some channels are still broadcast in 4:3 (such as Civilisation) so the STB will show them in the correct aspect ratio.

The same happens if a widescreen channel shows an old TV show, the TV will usually show it correctly as a 4:3 square picture.

You will need to set your TV to 'stretch' those 4:3 channels into Widescreen if you don't want it to change
