I do have a DVR, so I enjoy movies from tv much more now, but sure would like to watch my movies still! My neighbor just got her U-Verse on a non-hidef tv and it looks BETTER than mine. What gives? (She doesn't have a dvd/vhs hooked up though.) My tv has always looked better with cable than hers, now mine is worse than hers with cable!! Tried calling tech support but with my use of technical words/"lines on screen", I didn't get far. I must also say that I'm not usually picky about how a tv looks...but this is annoying when it was better before. Any ideas?? Thanks a lot!
