In the UK, transmissions may be sent with a variety of parameters: 4:3, 16:9,
14:9, 2-channel audio, 5-channel audio, captions/subtitles of various sorts,
doubtless other things I can't think of off the top of my head. This is a *per
recording* function we are considering, not per-channel or per-tuner.
Incidentally, the above information may change during the course of a broadcast.
It has been noted here that commercials may have different parameters to the
main program, and changes are possible even during the course of a single
program, perhaps where chunks of film have been edited together. So the ability
to call for this info at any point may be useful - to assist editing/archiving,
if nothing else.
