Re: What HD setting
Yeah, don't use the wide settings unless you want stretcho vision.
If your tv is 1080p use the 1080 setting.
Using 720 you'd be downscaling the 1080i broadcast to 720, the your tv will be upscaling it to 1080, which would introduce a hell of a lot of artifacting.
SD content is similar, setting the box to 720 would mean upscaling it first to 720, then again to 1080, whereas setting it to 1080 just upscales it the once.

More transformations = less quality.
