Yes. My TV can also switch scaling for something like 14:9
letterboxed. Though these days I only notice this on a weirder channel
like UKTV History where they seem unable to bother to transmit 16:9
for some odd reason.

It's the second-hand programmes they buy from boot sales.

Does the BBC issue letterbox 14:9 into 4:3 versions of 16:9 source
specifically for purchase at lower prices? I'm asking because some of the
programmes I've seen on UKTV History at 14:9 letterbox were, IIRC, ones
I've also seen on the BBC in 16:9... Maybe the price is per pixel. :-)

Slainte,
