HDTV for regular television programs...


I've been watching recently regular public channels on HDTV in the local italian restaurant during dinner and realized that the faces are too wide and everything is spreaded along the screen.
Is wide HDTV only for movies or it can be adjusted for square screen?

If what you're seeing looks as if the people need to be on a diet then you're not seeing HDTV.

Yes HDTV has a 16:9 aspect ratio but all objects should be correctly displayed with no distortion. With true HDTV (I suspect that you were watching DTV) images are sharp and detailed and colors are bright, vivid, and natural. The HDTV viewing experience should be like looking through a window at the world around you.
