ABC uses 720 p, NBC and CBS use 1080i. I'd have to check the others. 480i SD obviously doesn't qualify.

The (too many) sub-channels that many stations have aded x.2, x.3, x.4 etc are all SD, only the main x.1 is HD.

What brand of TV? Most can change the output setting.

Yes, it would be the cable box. But sounds like you got it now.

Anyways, even though Hawaii 5-0 is a mediocre show, I think it has the best looking HD on my TV. Maybe because it's Hawaii...

You never have that problem if you use over-the-air

My cable apps won't let me stream over the air. It would be so nice...
