    Is the rugby world cup going to be broadcast in the 4:3 format or have they switched to widescreen yet.

    I was wondering the same myself, but it's in 16:9 thank fook. TV3's studio analysis is in 16:9 as well, a first for them as far as i know.

    What is with RTÉ Two showing last night's Champions League in 4:3? ITV had it in 16:9 so it's obviously not a feed issue.

    Not according to RTE:
    In May 2005 RTÉ commenced migrating to 16:9 widescreen production and transmission. The Sunday Game was the first series to be produced and transmitted in widescreen format. All advertising material, Weather, The Premiership, The Den etc are already being transmitted in widescreen and all programmes currently being commissioned by RTÉ will be produced in widescreen also. As the Autumn Schedule returns to our screens many more programmes, including The Late Late Show, Tubridy Tonight, Fair City, Champions League, Rugby and Soccer coverage, Religious Services, Winning Streak and many more will be transmitted in widescreen.

    RTÉ are transmitting in 16:9 widescreen on the Sky digital platform and on NTL Digital.

    By the way, I'm referring to cable (Churus) transmission.

    have you checked your settings on your NTL box?
    I was amazed to find that my GF and 3 mates have widescreen TV's but have their NTL boxes set to 4:3

    When i changed it to wide it opened a new world for them :-)

    I do know how to set up a digital set top box. RTÉ are not transmitting the Champions League in widescreen.
