That's at 24 or 30hz.

The standard at 60hz for Enhanced Digital Television is 720x480 active pixels.

This is all wikipedia crap, but for true 16:9 it should be 854x480. The only thing I've ever seen use 480p is my Wii.
I hear what you're saying but I just don't get the connection to 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen format. I thought the question was purely about 480p which as far as I'm aware has nothing to do with aspect ratio. Perhaps there's something here I missed?
