Comment (by stuartm):

 The height is the more accurate measure of resolution for video, there is
 a reason we use height and not width. The BBC's non-square pixel 1440x1080
 is rendered as 1920x1080, making it much more accurately described as
 1080i/p (Full HD) than something which is rendered as 1920x816 (closer to
 720).

 I'm not adverse to fudging it so that both are described as Full HD, but
 turning it on it's head so that it breaks something like BBC HD for the
 sake of matching a letterboxed film is wrong.
