I took delivery and setup a 61" DLP (Samsung) today.

I have an HD cable box and am running HDMI to the new set. I set the cable box to work with formats 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480 wide (as instructed by Cablevision)

The problem I have is when I watch stations that are non-HD (ie, sports channels), they are blurred and grainy. The HD stations are crystal clear, however, the non-HD are not a good picture. I called Samsung - who was no help (they blame it on CableVision - as they say if I have a clear picture on HD, that means the set is fine).

Any help?
