I noticed that BBC had switched on their widescreen with Ceefax on BBC Two. Much of the text on the left hand and right hand side was missing with their 16:9 transmission mode switched on big rather than the letterbox format.

Considering I have only got a 4:3 screen, the same with many other viewers, the BBC or any other TV company shouldn't be allowed to do this.

I also remembered WWF Wrestling on Sky with Widescreen switched on ridiculously big. It looked really awful.

Maybe it wasnt switched on intentionally. Maybe it was left on by accident- I've seen that many times.
