I have checked to ensure zoom is off and have selected the 1080p under device. We switched from U verse and am shocked how much different it is . We have 7 HD TV's and all of them appear the same. Comcast added a booster to get the signal through out the home . I think when they boost the signal and split there's degradation in the quality of the information being broadcast /sent. But this is just a layman's observation. ANyone with technical background that can help would be much appreciated.
thanks

a minor recommmendation: change to 1080i. Let your TV do the de-interlacing rather than the set top box. TV manufacturers that care use better chipsets than the lowest bidder set top boxes and the comb filters in the TV are probably much higher quality and perhaps even more stages of comb filters.
