    Hi All,

    I'm having to get the NTL analogue service installed in my new house as the MMDS line of sight survey failed and I can't put a dish up on an old house.

    What aspect ratio do they transmit the terristrial channels in? Also, what about the likes of Sky News?

    An an alternative, if I upgrade to NTL Digital, would this make a difference, even though I don't need the extra channels?

    Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

    Nick

    Yes, generally 14:9 letterboxed, though it can vary with programs. Most US shows will be 4:3, Sky News is cropped 4:3, and a lot of sports are 4:3.

    You won't get any anamorphic 16:9 if that's what you're looking for, unless the channel's broken (which happens frequently with Chorus :rolleyes: ).

    actually you reminded me of something

    ntl in Waterford used to show BBC, UTV and C4 in 4:3 from time to time when the reception from NI went bad
