Holland >and Belgium have Pal-plus, which is also 16:9. Here in Oz they have >16:9 too, and I heard some stations adopted the 14:9 framing too. >-martin- The information that I have from my British friend, which I looked at myself when I visited this past summer, is that the BBC does everything in 16:9, but the broadcast version is cropped to 14:9 before actual transmission. The 16:9 is for the digital outlets. Makes the black bars less objectionable. There are still those who do not like letterboxing.
