Just got TCL cable tv in yesterday and the technician mentioned free to air tv so 1-4 really still haven't been set up for the different aspect ratios and is a problem that telstra are currently looking at fixing, so they know some are wrong, just haven't fixed it yet.
Not sure if this helps any but thought it may be nice to mention

Telstra are currently replacing their old analogue decoders (which from memory when I saw them were just glorified Sky Set Top Boxes, connected via Composite to a Cable Re-encoder).
From my deduction it seems that TV3 has already been switched over to the digital system which doesn't seem to decode the image at all, just decrypts the raw TS stream from the satellite, and re-encrypts it down the Cable. Not changing any of the image quality on the way through as it all seems to stay digital. Tv1 1 & 2 still seem to be on the old system, as to the bulk of the subscriber Sky Channels. Only seems to be TV3, the new channels (Vibe, DT&L, C&I etc) are on the new system... but this is all "supposed" to be swapped over on 15 December as per: http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/go/whatsnewtv but we will see...
This can't be said for the MPEG decoder quality in the TCL Supplied Set Top Boxes, which seem to do a very poor job of decoding the stream off the cable and displaying it on screen.
I have my PC Capture card working today, so will take "comparison" screenshots tonight, between the ADB and DM.
