Default Quality of image with DVI from PC

Hi everyone!

I did a quick search, I hope this is not a noob question. (as I'm new to this forum!

I have my PC output to my HDTV via DVI to HDMI cable. The resulting image when watching videos is pretty good, or at least I thought until I saw the quality of my friend's Shaw HD box on his high def TV.

The images coming from my PC to my HDTV are good...but they don't "pop out" like the high def TV broadcast from the Shaw digital box.

My specs are below:
Dual core Intel PC w/Vista
ATI Radeon HD 3600 (with dual DVI-out)
NCIX mid range $45.00 DVI to HDMI 25" cable
Sharp Aquos 42" 1080p LCD TV (bought at Christmas last year)

The video output is: 1920 x 1080
Windoze sees it as a "generic pnp monitor"

I've tried playing around with settings, but nothing seems to make a difference. again, the image isn't BAD... it's just obviously not as good as it can be.

Thank you in advance folks!
Andrew
