Adelphia HD

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I jusy got the Adelphia HD DVR box and am not impressed. The non-hd
stations look very grainy and the HD stations still have the black bars on
the top and bottom even though I have a wide screen hd set. I have used
Time Warner and Dish network in the past and the black bars were not there
on their hd stations. Does anyone else have this problem and is there some
sort of setting to change this? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Bill. I changed the moxie box to 1020i and the black
bands are gone. One other question.....
The Picture in Picture does not seem to work. I called Adelphia and he said
that I would need to coax jacks on my tv to use this feature. Do you use it
and if so, how do you have it hooked up? Thanks!
