I was watching The Simpsons on Freesat SD. I'm sure this normally
shows shows 4:3 corrctly, which is fine for old Simpsons episodes that
are not HD. However today the 4:3 original was stretched to 16:9. I
switched to the non-freesat version of Channel 4 on satellite and was
surprised to find it correctly displayed as 4:3. Comments?

What do you mean by non-Freesat version of C4 ? The HD version of C4
that isn't carried on the Freesat EPG ?

Anyway, probably related to the fact they've been in disaster recovery
mode since the catastrophe at Red Bee in September, although I think
they may finally be back there now.

That may well be the answer. My TV can only receive SD Freeview but
does have an HDMI socket for HD (and SD) from my Humax satellite
recorder.
