34-1 and 34-2 look just fine with my TV set to 16:9 but I have to set my TV to 4:3 for 34-3 to look right. Is anyone else seeing this?

All of the .2 and .3 channels in Columbus are 4:3, but I think it depends on the particular model of TV as to whether it will automatically switch or you need to manually switch it.

Thanks gsb! I'm embarrassed to say this was user error. Your feedback was enough to get me to go back and check my settings. It turns out I had left a DirecTV STB setting to stretch instead of native. I think I didn't like the on screen guide changing shape/ratio based on the channels' ratio. I fixed it and all is well.
