Just purchased a qled tv. Video sharpness of live tv is poor with cox. Are there tv settings or cable box settings needed to improve the experience?

    Hello, using the Contour remote, you are welcome to change the Video Output Resolution under Device Settings. In doing so, this adjusts the aspect ratio on your television:
