  Do the UK broadcasters do stupid things like ours ?. Show P&S 4:3 cut 
movies 'pillarboxed' 'cause they can't be bothered getting a WS source 
(presumably they had the P&S 4:3 in their own archives), or the best 
one, showing TV adds that were shot in 16:9, 4:3 letterboxed, then 16:9 
pillarboxed. You get the advert shown with a black border all the way 
around... :-)
