Jack:

According to the xbox 360, it delivers 1080i. However, when the xbox 360 is set to 1080i, I get the band of waving lands on top. Shouldn't this be a problem with the set itself?

I sent a request to Comcast to see why my box set is set to 480p/480i. Isn't it better if it can be set to 1080i?

BTW, no all the xbox 360 games support 1080i, but DOA 3 does. However, I cannot watch DOA 3 with lots of artifacts waving at the top of screen. The warning information from this game which scrolls up gets kind of dissolved when it it hits those annoying lines on top.

I am annoyed by this since I was not able to see HD until a year ago, and now I am finding out that I am not getting my money worth.

I am not complaining about the DVD displaying in either 480p or 480i, but my main issue is with the HD capability of this unit, and I am about to buy a new set until late 2007 at the earliest. Anyway, thanks for your input.

Regards,
orestes
P.S. I hope I am making myself clear here.
