I'm pretty sure it does this already. I've got a Nova-T and a PVR-250
in my box; the Nova-T switches automatically because the source DVB
material contains the WS switch but any programmes coming through the
PVR-250 seem to switch also where the RT feed has got the 16/9 ratio set.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be set consistently but it is there on
some at least (eg the new series of Stargate SG-1 on Sky One Tuesday
nights, and Enterprise on Monday nights).
HTH,
