[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 61095, member: 176256"] I don't watch $ly News so I don't know what format they use but certainly some programmes on other channels are in 4:3 and others are in 16:9. When a 4:3 channel is stretched on some widescreen TVs then you get the "fat people" effect you talk about. For instance, most programmes on the BBC networks are now in 16:9, a lot on ITV and Ch4 are in 16:9 and Five is increasing the amount of 16:9 all the time (ie most is still 4:3). If your big dish gets 2D then you can check by loking at the news. On BBC it's 16:9 while on ITV, Ch4 and Five it's in 4:3 so you should be able to check which one gives you the fat presenters!
