Here's what's happening: He has an HDTV cable box, with HD tuner installed. When you run the setup on the cable box, it says it's prepared to display all resolutions, including 1080i. Then, the HD channels work perfectly, in 1080i.
Then, when you switch inputs on the TV (say, to the Xbox 360 or DVD player) and then switch back to the cable channels, the TV only displays those HD channels in 480i. Re-running the HD setup on the cable box makes it work again, but switching inputs nullifies it every time.
Any ideas? The cable company has told him that the TV is overriding the cable box in some way, although I'm not sure about this, since when it goes back to 480i it actually says "480i" on the front display of the cable box. In other words, it appears that the TV is still being sent 480i, rather than the TV simply downscaling or something.
Thanks for any help you may have on this one!!!
