also for the bitty/dotty effect turn down your sharpness setting a notch or 2 on your tv. if you are still not happy with it enable DNR on your tvs settings. beware that enabling DNR will clear up the image but also has the effect of causing ghosting on some broadcst images, its a sharp spacific issue.
Cheers for info. I have tried this different settings but you still don't get the bars as you do on terrestrial. You do on say futurma and simpsons but they are the vertical bars. The box is getting rid of the horizontal bars.

I thought Dot by Dot should be used as this ensures the TV does nothing to the picture? Full stretches the picture even more.

I had a lot of problems with the TV with ghosting with SkyHD at first. This was fixed by turning DNR, Film mode, and Active Contrast off. These are still off now.
