Thanks guys I am off to get the new HD Cable box. Everything is supposed to be ready.

Well I got home and hooked it up and went through the channels I try cnanging all the aspect rations to 16 by 9 for the cable box signal and it only displays 4 by 3 on every setting. If I switch the tv to 4by 3 I get two sets of pillar boxes. I called Suddenlink and they said to turn the box off and hold down two buttons and the HD setup guide would come up it didn't. The record feature doesn't work either. They told me to take it back to their office here but they are closed. The front of the box is lit up saying 1080i but that is on Standard cable. So I guess I will take it back tomorrow.

Oh yes please tell me I am going to be able to get rid of the pillar boxes. The wife won't like those.

The box is a Scientific Atlanta and I hooked it up with component cables.
