Euronews is one of the 24 hour news channels we get in the 10 multicasts from 
our independent station here.

http://www.euronews.net/

Actually, we get two Euronews streams. One in English, the second in 
Italian/German/Spanish, depending on time of day.

Well, today for the first time ever, I got to see real anamorphic 16:9 SDTV, at 
very long last. Both of the Euronews streams are now transmitted that way.

Which makes me wonder, how come this one station (MHz Networks), transmitting 
on two 6 MHz channels, sends the 16:9 France 24 stream as postage stamp SD, and 
two other subchannels as anamorphic 16:9 SD? I can imagine the confusion of the 
viewers. Not to mention, the problem with unadjustable hotel TV sets.
