I already have a widescreen TV set. Why do I need Digital as well?

Digital TV Group | Consumer Section | FAQ
Only digital TV offers true widescreen pictures. On analogue TV you don't normally see the whole widescreen picture, and your widescreen TV has to stretch the picture to fit the screen. Digital widescreen pictures are the right shape for your widescreen TV. Adding a set top box will allow you full enjoyment of your favourite programmes in true widescreen and give you more free-to-view services.
