Hi Def 16x9 channels suddenly appeared as 4:3 letterbox

The title says it: Today the channels in the 701-899 range here in Hamilton's North side that previously were received as 16:9 Hi-Def now are only showing normal geometry when the TV is set to 4:3 (letterbox bars on left and right side of screen). The indicator on the Pace pvr is showing it's outputting 1080i as usual. Have something gone haywire at the head end so that HD broadcasts are being downconverted to 4:3?

Replying to my own post ... resetting the box by unplugging it from the mains restored normal behaviour. 16:9 material is back as it oughta be.
