Gonza:
Talking to Cox is like talking to oil-covered sea turtles. The guy who oversees the programmong of the Scientific Atlanta boxes for our region (I know him) is pretty clueless so the the boxes are all pretty much set to the original default programming from the factory. We used the same boxes when I was with Time Warner cable in Texas and the features/functionality were much better than what Cox does with their boxs here.
I actually tried the overscan feature on the TV the day I bought the set (months ago) and it does work however, the overscan creates too much zoom and crops a lot of the picture. The problem isn't bad during the day but at night you can really see the vertical interval signals flasing across the top of the screen.
For what it's worth, our LG 55" sets here at the TV station all have adjustments for the picture that allow you to micro zoom and move the screen by a single pixel at a time. This might be a useful addition to future Insignia sets. I had planned on purchasing Insignia units for our set but the vertical interval issue (which BestBuy ws clueless about and unwilling to help me with) were the determining factor why we went with LG for this project.
Oh, by the way, I did figure out how to get the Cox box to display captioning so I can now see captioning via HDMI.
Thanks for your help on these issues.
