    New channels In June?

    To be honest, you guys are right. Over the long run, VOOM is more important than 1 crappy ESPN2 HD which doesnt always broadcast in HD. I'm just a little angry that I didn't watch the whole World Cup on HD last summer and will be angry if by next summer I can't watch Euro 2008 in complete HD...

    New channels In June?

    What is more important? 15 "fluff" channels or 1 solid ESPN2 channel? When I have to think about the answer, it's not a good sign. ESPN2 PLEASE!

    on the cablebox (4250HD) can it automatically set a stretch or widescreen??

    Once again, what settings should i put this on for it to automatically stretch 4:3 pictures and leave Widescreen pictures alone? Any settings I try it doesn't set these settings.

    on the cablebox (4250HD) can it automatically set a stretch or widescreen??

    i tried that but nothing happened?? it just goes to the guide... EDIT: so the tv has to be off... anyway, these other formats dont do anything for me? if i leave it on 480p then its wrong... i can only switch it by manually going and switching it... i want it to do that by itself if possible...

    on the cablebox (4250HD) can it automatically set a stretch or widescreen??

    We now changed out tv to a tv that doesnt automatically stretch or keep it in widescreen. I was wondering, is there any way on the cable box to program it to stretch a 4:3 picture into widescreen and to keep a widescreen picture as it is without having to change it constantly manually?
