To clarify here, use wide screen anamorphic even when transmitting 4:3 content.
The result is, on wide screen monitors, you get a properly pillarboxed 4:3
image always, you get a full screen display when content is 16:9, and you get
letterboxed display when content is wider than 16:9. Never any distortion.
On 4:3 sets, via the STB, you normally see full screen for 4:3 or 16:9 content
(which is cropped). And you get letterboxing for content that's wider than 16:9.
Don't know how AFD can make the situation much better.
