If you are talking about a digital MPEG2 signal - the aspect ratio is encoded as a variable parameter into the TS stream --so it can be different for similar material - and different during the same program depending on the encoding - This is probably covered earlier in this thread - I know it has been explained on other threads here. - do a search. - here's one from a simple google search -- http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...2+aspect+ratio

click on this that last 2.11:1 probably does get used - a lot
