Resolution confusion: SA 8000HD > component > Sony XS

I am somewhat a novice on this, so someone correct me if I'm wrong...
I believe it all has to be in HD because your HDTV doesn't support anything under HD on its HD inputs.
You can go into your 8000HD settings and setup the auto wide zoom options.

Your Sony will interpret any 720p or 1080i signal as HD and only give you
the "full" setting option. For example, a station's HD channel output will
always be on the "full" setting, even if the program on it is not HD. But
you should be able to tune to the station's non-HD channel, get the signal
in NTSC and then you have your other "wide screen" choices, including a
"normal" 4:3 picture.

I use a CableCard with my Sony but when I did have a cable box I did not
have any problem with this. It only output the HD signals from the HD
channels. So, I would say that either there must be a setting you can
change on your cable box or it is defective or it is a screwed-up design.
