I'm guessing your digital TV signal is broadcast in wide screen format, don't you think? It does fill out the width on a modern wide screen set, no? But when you made your 4:3 aspect ratio test pattern DVD, the machine plays it back as it was originally formatted.
If you put your digital TV box in letterbox mode it should shrink the picture width down and put a black bar at the top and bottom, although I don't have such a device so I have no idea if they even have that feature these days.
