[mythtv-users] Skipping adverts in UK using DVB-T - supported ?

[Frank smith]

HI I'm in the UK, Cardiff, and noticed your post on this.
I note that channel 5 does indeed change the aspect to wide screen I
think.
We don't get any black bars just lost picture area which in adverts is
OK with me!

Not sure if channel 4 does this I'll take a look.

Cheers
Bob
