If your TV has a SCART socket, then one of the pins can be driven to half the usual signal voltage to tell the TV that the image is 16:9 rather than 4:3 IIRC. A widescreen TV will then stretch the image across the screen as required. DVD players & DTV boxes can do this automatically, according to the codes embedded in the mpeg stream which tell the decoder what the aspecet ratio should be.
