Thanks Daniel..what i meant ..tring to simplify things..was that the set has 2 component inputs..one is y/pb/pr..the other y/cb/cr..i assumed there was no difference..but now after your advice ive switched the 2 and i can now input 1080i no problem..the picture is noticeably better..only change i do not like is all SD channels are in 4:3 ..i assume thats the set ..the aspect is set for 16:9 ..as far as the Dvd goes ill try turning off the Prog. scan feature and input that thru the y/cb/cr..its amazing..i have 4 LCD..3 Different brands..1 Plasma..and each one is different in one way or the other..now i see why some of the guys on here are a bit testy sometimes!..lol...just reset the Hd stb and now the aspect is correct..by the way Daniel..this is the BEST dang website..but i do wonder what ever happened to Hoss10..remember him?
