What?  My Sony WEGA 36" flatscreen CRT supports it, and my PVR-250 can
detect it (say, from playing a widescreen DVD into it), and my PVR-350
can emit it, and the TV will change modes accordingly.  These were over
composite or S-video connections (in other words, baseband, not RF).

I never saw it used by any broadcasters back when I had analog RF or
analog cable, but it -did- work.
