Abe - I can understand the two sides being black with a 16:9 screen when the broadcast is 4:3. I thought James said ALL FOUR sides were black, however. If so, I can't help but wonder if maybe he needs to do more set-up. No?
Follow Ups:
Good point but I've also noticed in *some* cases that when an HD broadcast switches to a commercial (that is not in HD format), it will sometimes show black on the top, bottom, and both sides. If this is the case on ALL of his HD programs, there may indeed be a setup problem somewhere.... possibly in the set-top-box or the Sony TV.I'd be real curious to know if he can get a very sharp picture on a progressive scan DVD movie using moderately decent component video cables since he also complained about the picture quality in general not being very good. I suspect this might have to do with the rather poor quality signal from Comcast.... At least this is the case where I live. Both digital and analog cable from Comcast are not especially clean here. A DVD picture, on the other hand, is very nice while HDTV is even sharper.
Here is the Sony with a normal/no-HD broadcast in normal 4:3 mode:http://derdock.com/aa/normal_ratio.jpg
Here is the Sony with a supposed HD program using the "normal" or auto wide-mode setting (the picture is very good here, but it doesn't fill the screen):

Here is the Comcast set-top box (please excuse the AIWA speaker, it's not mine!:

I'll make an effort to watch an HD network broadcast like Monday Night Football.
Thanks again for the help !
