It sounds like you're zooming an SD movie. Are you on the correct channel for the HD version of TCM?
Kevin - one more thing to show I'm not crazy....this morning two friends of mine were at my home for breakfast, and they still have their Cox Scientific Atlantas. They did not receive that letter requesting them to switch to Contour. But I showed them in depth the great features of Contour, but also what my SD shows now look like, and they did not like what they saw. My friend Frank couldn't believe it and he tried to readjust the settings for me, but it didn't work. As for them, they are in shock by the change and relieved they didn't upgrade to Contour. They have great viewing reception, they love HD, but watch lots of SD shows, especially MTV videos, etc. and won't give up the full screens and clarity. Anyway, I'm willing to say I'm exaggerating, and I have friends that would tell me so! But I'm not and it's not good.
Providers have quite the racket: mandatory rental fees for utter junk.
