That makes no sense. SBS does broadcast in 576p @ 25 fps, which is basically PAL, 720 pixels wide x 576 pixels high, which is 4:3 aspect ratio. TG is broadcast in 16:9, which is either PAL cropped, or 576p anamorphic, in either case nowhere near HD (1080i broadcast) quality.
720*576 is not 4:3, 720 * .75 = 540. It's just the resolution used by PAL, and the stretch or squash the pixels for the desired aspect ratio.
Yes, SBS HD is not actually HD. In the (now badly cliched) words of TGA, what were they thinking?
