Probably the most noticeable change for widescreen owners is that when the BBC broadcasts an older 4:3 programme, you will now be able to zoom it to fill the whole screen. For owners of 4:3 television sets the most noticeable change is that you should not now see the ‘postage stamp’ effect, where a picture has a black border on every side. The Toppy now fully supports the AFD information, in line with guidelines from the Digital Television Group, and outputs WSS signals that your TV can use to zoom automatically.
