As no one else has asked this yet, what model STB's do you have?
But I did ask that.

There may be an 'info' or 'display' button on the TV's remote. I just verified that using the Display button on my TV's remote brings up this same information. So, it is independant verification that the TV is, in fact, receiving a 1080i HD signal on the HDMI input that is connected to the VZ HD STB.

When I tune the STB to an SD channel and press Display on the TV remote, it shows that there is a 480i SD signal coming in on the HDMI input that is connected to the VZ HD STB, as I would expect.

Check your remote/manual to see if this information can be displayed on your Panasonic.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644757 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:10:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644585 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644585 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:40:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644589
also

There may be an 'info' or 'display' button on the TV's remote.

You can also turn OFF the TV and bring up the FIOS cable box diagnostic screen to verify the settings are 'set' by the STB.

How do you verify that? (1080i from STB?)
As I said in my first post, with the HD STB already tuned to an HD channel and powered on, when I first turn on the Sony HDTV, the TV displays some basic information which includes input signal information and it shows it is receiving a 1080i signal on the selected HDMI input from the VZ HD STB. The TV turns this display info off after about 45 seconds.

This display is a function of the firmware in my Sony HDTV.

That's why I asked what model Panasonic you had. Check your TV's Owners Manual to see if there is a function in its setup menu to display signal information on its available inputs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644529 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:26:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644415 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644415 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:08:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644412 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644412 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:07:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644373 said by kyma :

with the new FIOS install it looks like I am getting only 720P on the HD channels What does your TV report? Mine reports 1080i ...

Can verify that connection from STB to TV is 1080i? That at least eliminates that angle... you might still have believe that they are just up-scaling 720p at the head-end or something, but the truth is that FIOS TV does look same/better then Comcast in nearly all cases that I've found.

It also makes no sense for VZ to add compression or down-scaling--they have a major technical advantage over the coax based providers in this situation, why compromise that?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644373 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:59:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644323 said by kyma :

That is what I am thinking. I just posted a question asking if anyone knows if the FIOS STB needs to be power cycled after I make the change from 720 to 1080???
My FiOS HD STB was 1080i out of the box so I never changed it. You could just try to power cycle it. What model Panasonic do you have?

And, what do you mean by "after I make the change from 720 to 1080." What are you changing?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644323 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:48:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644140 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644140 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:16:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644128 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22644128 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:15:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643860
My HD picture quality is stunning on HD channels. Since IMG 1.6.2 was released, even SD signals are vastly improved.

Time to check all your settings as darcilicious detailed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643860 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:19:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643854 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643854 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:18:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643784 I have a feeling that the feed from FIOS is not 1080i but 720p and no matter what I do it cannot fixed I'm not sure what the problem is but Vz does not do further compression on whatever they get from the original content providers. Channels like HDNet, Universal HD, etc are definitely being sent to you in 1080i.

How do you have your set top boxes connected to your TV precisely? Component? HDMI? Something else?

Which set top boxes do you have? (model numbers are important). You may need to go into Menu / Video Settings / Video Format and make sure everything is set up correctly there as well. (Also take a look at Menu / Video Settings / SD Override and try OFF initially)

You may need to adjust your settings on your TV. What brand/model is it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643784 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:02:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643689 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/HD-Just-switched-from-Comcast-to-FIOS-22643689 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:33:38 EDT
