Congratulations on not putting a DOG on BBC HD during the presidential inauguration, even though there was one (saying LIVE Washington) on BBC One! An unusual but welcome reversal. It was a bit strange that at the end, when they showed a mini-highlights of the day, it was not only SD, it was 4:3. Was that package provided by the US network or something, where AFAIK, 16:9 always means HD? Robert (Jamie) Munro P.s. What would be handy is an "also available on HD" DOG on the SD version of simulcasts. In fact, couldn't the MHEG program detect an HDTV receiver and switch channel automatically?
