Mine always gives the correct aspect ratio on my widescreen set. Which
will be 16:9 or 4:3. 14:9 is the compromise on analogue transmissions, not
digital.
Yes, but if the VTX-D800 is set to feed a 4:3 set, it will display
16:9 programming in either 14:9 or 16:9 letterbox, as per how it is
instructed to by the broadcaster via AFDs. I think the OP wishes to
over-ride 'broadcaster control' and display all 16:9 programming in
16:9 letterbox ?

If you're intending to watch the 16:9 image cropped to 4:3 on the 4:3 TV then, given that most analogue content is cropped from 16:9 to 14:9, the OP is going to a lot of hassle in time and money to get an end result that's giving him less than he got on analogue, particularly taking into account the overscan on the 4:3 TV. ...
