I have a 32" GE tv. it is not a flat screen or panel, just standard tube tv. i have digital cable, but i can see the pixels sometimes, mainly with dark blue colors and grays. why is this, what settings can i change to get a better picture?

You don't see pixels, but "macroblocks" (16x16 pixels areas).
It is an artifact of video compression used in digital TV.
Normally you should see none, but if there is noise on the transmission, then macroblocks are "lost' and the receiver has a hard time to reproduce a picture.
Seeing macrobloks from time to time is normal, but if you see them all the time, then there is too much noise in your line.

To reduce pixelization, I have found that setting the CONTRAST to maximum and the BRIGHTNESS control to 50% should reduce it....
IF it doesn't, there's nothing you can do, short of selecting another TV model or Brand....
