Just set your tuner to output 1080i on all HDTV material. It should
upconvert the 720p stuff, I think. That's what my Star Choice box is doing
(but it's Motorola).

If your tuner has an override for SD material, then experiment. Sometimes
the tuner is better at it and sometimes the TV is better at it.

A false witness is worse than no witness at all.

In the Xbox control panel you can specify which modes your TV supports, just
turn off 720p. There are 3 options 480p, 720p, and 1080i, all individually
controlled.

Yeah but the few Xbox games which support HDTV are 720p.

Anyways, if you want HDTV games, wait for the next gen, which is
expected to start with the next Xbox which will be released Christmas
2005.
