That's true - the BBC (at least) uses an extension to the DVB standard to 
describe a 4:3 picture within a 16:9 frame... and when displayed on the Dxr3, 
it ends up as a small picture in the centre of the screen, with thick black 
letterboxing on all four sides (!) ...

Hardly surprising since the Dxr3 was designed many years ago and intended only 
ever to play MPEG2 files from a DVD....

Cheers,
Gavin.
