No, you can view widescreen programmes using a standard set although a widescreen TV set would give you a better viewing experience if the FIFA World Cup ™ is to be broadcast widescreen in your country. However, if you are about to buy a new TV set, we recommend you buy a widescreen set as more and more programming will be available in this format in the coming years. Buying an HD Ready set will further allow you to watch HDTV programmes as soon as they are broadcast in your country.
