Yes, there is more letterboxed 16:9 content showing up on the SD
channels as more programs switch to recording/filming the show in HD
format. Not all of these shows are actually broadcast in HD because they
may be on a non-HD network (so far) such as Sci-Fi or USA, but they
are being shot in the 16:9 format and in HD to future proof them for
future HD broadcasts and HD-DVD/BR sales.
Expect the trend to continue as we make the long very drawn out
conversion to 16:9 HD.
