It is connected to cable (which is broadcasting in HD 720 which apparently is all they can do at the moment) and all the settings are right (I am in California at the moment) and if you have it set to 'normal' the pic is fantastic but not full screen, if you go to zoom its not as good, however since asking the question I think I have found out that nobody is actually broadcasting in the full 1080p yet, its all very confusing but thanks for replying !
