    Ok im no expert but here is my quick "i went thorough this" guide:

    If you have a TV that supports 1080P (people sometimes refer to it as true high def) you need the following to make it work right.

    1- An HDMI cable.
    2- A HD Source.

    So, If you have cable, the you will need to upgrade your box to a HD cable box. You will also need to pay for and upgrade to a HD package to get the HD channels. This is the same for satellite.

    For DVD/HD media:
    You will need a HD player, like Blue-Ray or HD. Get Blue Ray, HD is dying. HDMI cable. You blue ray player will upscale your current DVD's to 1080P using software.

    If you dont want to spend the $$ on a BlueRay player, you need to buy a Upscaling DVD player. These go for about $60-$150. You will also need a HDMI cable. make sure the DVD player upscales to 1080P.

    If you have this set up and your picture is crappy, then contact your cable company, cause it shouldn't.
