Movies Now SD aspect ratio changed again

[gautamsky]

Hello,

Aspect ratio of Movies Now SD back to 4:3. Don't know this change is from broadcaster or Tata Sky. Few months back broadcaster changed aspect ratio to 16:9.

I think its a good move as they already have HD format in 16:9.
SD channels should be in 4:3 for non-HD TV's.

Yep. I noticed it too.

I cant understand one thing! People always say that aspect ratio change is done from broadcaster's side not from DTH provider, then how come DishTV is showing all SD feeds of HD channels such as History TV18, Movies NOW, etc in 16:9 ratio, on the other hand all these channels are showing in 4:3 ratio in other DTH such as ADTV, Tata Sky?

Why cann't DTH change aspect ratio? Do channels like Movies Now also provide SD feed?

Thats what I was trying to say. DTH can change aspect ratio of SD feeds of HD channels.

Movies NOW does provide SD feed.
