I just had my cablebox installed today and don't understand why I have to change from the HDTV component input to Video 1 to watch STD and DTV channels. If I change to a STD or DTV station, I see a "Not Supporting Mode" message on the screen.
My cable box does allow you to set the output via component or DVI to 480i/480p/720p/1080i. Regardless of the setting (480p/720p/1080i), I cannot watch the STD and DTV channels on component 2 or 3.
If I set it to 480p and use Component 1, then I can view all stations (STD,DTV,HDTV).
I'm going to hook up the DVD player tomorrow to Component 2 and 3 to test them at 480p. Why would 480p from the cable box work on Component 1 but not 2 or 3? If the DVD player works at 480p on all 3 components then that tells me the cable box isn't converting 480i to 480p as it should. It even has a "Pass" setting that passes native 720p and 1080i to the tv and automatically converts 480i to p, but even with that setting, I can't watch STD or DTV channels on Components 2 or 3.
