During thanksgiving I was at my mother in laws house, she had bought a HD TV over the summer and this was the first time I had a chance to see her setup. Well it turns out that Comcast had set her Motorola box to 480i and she had been watching that for about 6 months. The picture looked extremely bad and stretched out, it hurt my eyes. It took me about 5 min to figure out how to power off the box and change the res to 1080i. I blame both consumer and cable companies for these issues, I am pretty sure she would have kept on watching it this way if I would not have fixed the issue.
