A broadcaster may opt to use a standard-definition ( SDTV ) digital signal instead of an HDTV signal, because current convention allows the bandwidth of a DTV channel ( or " multiplex ") to be subdivided into multiple digital subchannels, ( similar to what most FM radio stations offer with HD Radio ), providing multiple feeds of entirely different television programming on the same channel.

On September 13, 2010, Disney Channel began airing theatrically released films in a 4: 3 letterbox format on the channel's primary SD feed, broadcasting them in a similar manner to how they are aired on the HD feed, although theatrical movies shot with an aspect ratio of 2. 35: 1 or 2. 40: 1 are panned and scanned to fit an HDTV screen to eliminate screen burn-in on plasma displays.

TNT HD is criticized for its practice of airing a significant amount of 4: 3 standard definition content stretched to 16: 9 through a nonlinear process similar to the " panorama " setting on many HDTVs that some viewers have nicknamed Stretch-o-Vision ; though other simulcasted HD cable channels have also fallen into this practice, TNT is usually cited since it was one of the first channels with an HD simulcast.
