Until a few days ago my Charter HD TV service had about 20 channels. Some of the channels were the HD feed of the major stations. For instance NBC SD was on channel 5 while NBC HD was on channel 705.
My STB is a Motorola 6200 with a DVI/HDMI connection to my Samsung HLS-5687W. When would switch between an SD channel and an HD channel the STB and the TV would do the HD
As of 2 days ago when switching from an SD channel to an HD channel there is no HDMI handshake/synchronization AND when I press the TV's Info button on an SD channel it displays the same information as an HD channel, both the Input source and its resolution of "[email protected]", though the picture is 4:3 not 16:9.
Charter has not replied to my questions. Have they made an un-announced upgrade to their HD service? Have they switched all their analog SD channels to digital?
I am trying to understand why my STB and TV can now display the actual resolution of all of the SD channelswhich they did not do before. I have made no changes at all. I am happy with the result, just confused.
Any ideas?
