Native video resolution change?

I currently get my Cox video stream using a Cox supplied cablecard. I understand that the CODEC has been change(MPEG4) but I'm also seeing that the native video resolution has also changed. For examp...

720p is actually better than 1080i because an interlaced format only displays half (540) lines per pass.

Anyway, are there video settings within the card?  If there is a "best" setting, select it because the card will upscale 1080i to 1080p.

Yeah... I didnt want to debate the 1080i vs 720P... just wanted to know if the change I am seeing is intentional behavior. This was not the case a month ago.
