If you have 4:3 letterbox set on a Sky box, for example, you get 4:3
content as pillarboxed inside a 16:9 letterbox. Or even worse, ads that
are playing out 4:3 with letterboxing inside the 4:3 area being
pillarboxed in a 16:9 area letterboxed.

Maybe TV3 need to learn to flag the streams properly instead of
pillarboxing. How hard is it to send a 4:3 flag on 4:3 content and a
16:9 flag on 16:9 content?

Then it's up to the set top box to do the right thing, like it should
be.

Arggh.
