It is good when trying to bug bust new Hardware and massage it all into decent shape.

SD MPEG2 576/50i 16:9 Live TV initially looks the same but quickly (within a few frames) switches to the correct aspect ratio.I've actually noticed this on all my AML devices with one particular H264 576/50i TV channel I watch.
I use the video setting in Kodi to fix it:
Settings > Video > Playback > Display 4:3 Video as Stretch 16:9
You say it does it for one particular 16:9 H264 channel in Aus - are there other SD H264 channels that it correctly aspect ratio switches on? Would possibly be useful to see what the difference between them is? At the moment it appears that the pixel aspect ratio of the channels that are displayed 'wrong' is being ignored, overriden or not read?
