I face the same problem with my projector - it's 4:3 and my sources are normally my FreeView and FreeSat PVRs. I don't think I can get 4:3 PAL out of them. One thing I will try though is to make my own DVD recording and play from a DVD player into the projector. That may give me enough options to get a non-stretchy, non-squeezy aspect ratio. Either letterbox or cropped sides would be OK. I don't use the projector enough to warrant replacement.
