Re: Guides, menus on HD channels
Mr October, what the tech did was change the resolution to 480i or 480p so you can view it... If you have your cable box hooked via the coax then you ARE NOT getting a true 720p or 1080i HD picture. You are only getting a 480i or 480p picture. The only ways to get an HD picture is direct coax to the TV from the wall outlet w/ a Quam TV Tuner, or hd box using component cable, DVI cable, HDMI cable or firewire. So, if anyone thinks they are getting HD resolution from a coax coming from the HD cable box, they are mistaken and need to read their owners manual for their TV and check how to hook up the HD cable box to their TV. This is where people are trying to save a couple bucks and end up taking the chance of getting charged for a trouble call and/or a failed SIK(self install kit) fee, too. I think it pays to have someone else come out and install it for a person and have it hooked up correctly. (well, some areas differ than others in the quality of their techs/contractors) |
