i lag when i go from standard to hd channels. like dubby said all hd signals over air/cable should be max at 720p. check your box to make sure it is set for 720p/1080i (i know directv boxes you have to do this) and you should be all set.
i just read that its fixed now

is your cablebox 1080p enabled? If you're with Comcast, try this ...
1. turn off your cable box
2. go to the machine and look for the "menu" or "options" button.
3. a white screen will now appear ... try to adjust the resolution output default. I think it's defaulted to 1080i. Take a look to see what you can do.
I do believe that most (if not all) HD broadcasts are at 720p.
Also, do you have your main cable line into the house split numerous times? Signal degradation will kill HD outputs.
It could be as simple as a bad HDMI cable too. : \

this is the dedicated unsplit line from the utility cabinet, afaik. most of the broadcasts i looked at so far were 1080i, but after 10 when simpsons came on that was 720p and that worked fine. I bought two cables from newegg (cheapies), and both had the same effect - but like i say, now it seems ok in 1080i, so ill see if i can find more issues. I was watching the news in the standard square TV size at 1080i and that was fine.
