Strange Widescreen format on ITV Meridian with Sky+
I'm seeing a very strange widescreen format effect on ITV Meridian. Only on this region, I've checked ITV Grampian and don't see the problem.
My Digibox (Sky+) is set to 16:9 format. When the ITV picture is in 4:3, my Panasonic widescreen TV seems to detect something that switches it into a Wide zoom mode, even thought there are no black borders. Even stranger, it shifts the whole picture down, cutting off the bottom of the picture (about half the S&S Banner), and revealing various white dots/dashes at the top of the screen. When it goes to adverts (in 16:9), it correctly switches to anamorphic 16:9.
Are ITV perhaps experimenting with different switching flags, or have they just got it wrong. Is anyone else seeing this effect on ITV Meridian or any other ITV regions?

They were transmitting in 4:3 adverts as normal in 16:9
