- Make sure connected via HDMI or component video (green/red/blue RCA)
- make sure output of box is set to 1080i and TV shape to 16:9
- check TV on a "16:9" or "full" or whatever is the terminology on your set. (Aspect or format or "picture size" button).
- not all programs on HD channels will actually be in HD, some will be SD and be pillarboxed (bars on sides) or stretched (ugh).

You might want to go to www.digitalhome.ca and register there and check their Bell TV forums. They have one specifically for HD receivers.
