Fit a 4:3 tv show to 16:9 screen

If you go onto the iTunes store. Search for any episode of Sex and the city, and you will see it is almost 4:3 in ratio. When i download other stuff from internet, that usually in a 4:3 kinda aspect too. I want to know if there is any way i can make these tv shows fill or fit the screen, like they do on Tivo, or Sky+. If i open one of the SATC Episodes in quicktime and go full screen i can usually make it "Panoramic" which gives the effect i want through my Apple TV.
Is there a setting i can use legally or do i have to do some SSH using a plugin or something.
Thanks.

If you watch a tv station that appears to fill the screen (and is not stretched), then it's either a wide screen show, or it has been cropped, either by your tv (due to your settings) or by the broadcasting station. If the original show was produced using 4:3, there's no way you can magically add new content to fill the sides of a wide screen display without cropping.
