Paolo, It's not so much that you can't change it it's just there a lot of providers here in Australia to only give ecw out. Some of these files are big as ecws so converting them to GeoTIFF would be impractical, plus a lot of work and data storage. JPEG2000 is another option but unless the providers change then user wont.
