I wish! Here in the UK they seem to mix all sorts of aspect ratios on a single 
channel. I've seen it go from 4:3 for one program, to 16:9 for adverts and a 
4:3 within 16:9 (borders all sides) for the following program.

Currently aspect ratio detection has been broken in Myth - it grabs the first 
aspect ratio (say 4:3 in the ads) and uses that ratio throughout. I think 
there is a ticket open.
