I was doing a quick calibration of a TV today and I noticed the picture from the Dish Network receiver looked a little soft. I checked the cable and the installer had used HDMI so that was good. I brought up the video settings menu on the satellite receiver and it was set to output 480p! I switched this to 1080i and the picture sharpened right up. I see this all the time. I wonder how many HD cable and satellite boxes are installed with HDTVs and aren’t set to output HD video? I had one customer that had been paying for HD for over a year and had never seen real HD before. They were amazed when I changed the setting to output 1080i.
