Yes, but as cable systems go all-digital, the situation would be exactly the 
same as my upstairs TV, fed from a Digital Stream STB via an S-video 
connection. Whether the monitor is 4:3 (as it used to be), or 16:9 (as we have 
now), the STB handles the situation perfectly. Wide screen anamorphic 16:9 is 
displayed full screen on a 4:3 monitor, I guess using pan and scan, and it 
fills the screen of a 16:9 monitor.

A digital cable STB feeding a TV set via analog interface should behave the 
same way? No?
