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.

The test cards back, yippee

Wow it works! It's amazing how much resolution you can get out of
compressed digital when it doesn't have to cope with movement.
Unfortunately that simple fact makes the test card rather pointless.
Nevertheless, here's a piccy of it on my TV, which is a CRT (I won't buy
a flat panel until this goes bang - I hate the plastic-y skin tones).
Even the highest frequency grating is resolved.
