I have cable modem connection, about 15 Mbps transfer rate. What kind of "box" do you have? Currently I have a Roku 2 XS box, which sends 1080p video for all of the Netflix movies that are in HD, and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio for all of the movies that have 5.1 audio. Every movie that was filmed in widescreen has shown up that way.
Before getting the Roku, I streamed Netflix from a Samsung BluRay player that seemed to be getting source material at 720p and upscaling it. There was no problem with widescreen.
My guess is that something is amiss with the input settings on your flatscreen.
