Re: tv programs are recorded at only 768x480?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Your cable box will only give you an SD signal (768x480), so there's no
point in your TV trying to show it at a higher resolution. You may get
higher resolution off an HD tuner or a DVD. However, to get a good 1920x1080
signal to the TV you'd probably need a beefier video board.
