Ian,
Do you get any of the
'primary'
channels in widescreen though?. I find that they are only very rarely WS,
even
if they are in the format, they are broadcast as letterboxed 4:3. I get an
extremly good signal for the iDTV, but find this aspect crap
annoying.
I don't find any reduction in quality on free to view when
the
CAM & card is installed though...

Mine has a button for wide or normal mode as you describe.
It
does nothing
unless the program is transmitted in
wide
screen. I can tell this from the
info button.
Generally pretty crap though. Oddly enough my IDTV is much
better and I get 1 to 4 and choice, knowledge etc. in wide screen
90%
of the
time.
Breakup of the picture is annoying but compared to some
pretty
good.
Apparently it gets worse when you start
receiving anything other than the
free channels.
So,
take out the Ondodgy card and you won't then be tempted
to watch it - problem solved.
