Widescreen

Do Sky transmit any programmes in widescreen? I am currently on an analogue cable system (chorus - yeah, no choice) and all transmissions are 4:3 or 14:9, depending on the Broadcaster. At the moment it puts me off buying a widescreen TV.

At the moment, no they don't.

Sky news is supposedly going widescreen on 16/17 October

Presumably Sky one will follow. The rumours all say they will - many of their primetime shows were originally WS (XFiles, Buffy etc - all WS on the beeb)

The UK terrestrials, E4, Sky Sports channels and Sky Premier Widescreen (sometimes on regular Premier) are pretty much all the channels broadcasting in true widescreen. Most other channels do at least occasionally broadcast in faux-widescreen (non-anamorphic) - just letterboxed (like TCM and the odd movie on RTE).
