I see a slot on the box that says 720 and 1080 but it only moves from 420, the picture looks worse than my old school tv.
Have you setup the box so it knows you have an HDTV? I have a DCT3412 DVR, so I'm not sure this will work on your DCH3200 but here goes.

With the TV power on, turn off the cable box
Push the menu button
Select 16X9 for your TV type
Select 720 in the HDMI settings
Press menu
Power on cable box
