Ah yes, optio 3: cut off the edges. (Which means that any signal 
containing a 16:9 image padded to 4:3 aspect looks perfect, while normal 
4:3 has bits of the edges missing.)

This is the option I use on my mum's TV. Usually the missing parts 
aren't that important. (Although one still wonders why they created this 
problem to begin with...)
