Hi
can anyone help me out, I get lots of pixelation on my Samsung LCD tv. Especially on movement. I dont get the same when watching a DVD.
I have accessed My cable box menu and got to the signal strength indicator by pressing power,3,ok. Now, which one is the strength being processed is it the OOB option or the inband option, and what should a good signal strength be to watch HD.

Thanks
Steve

How do you have the box hooked up to the set?( what input on the tv are you using? )

I have the box and TV connected via a HDMI cable as well as the DVD player. When the tv comes on it is via HDMI2 for the tv and HDMI1 fo the DVD.

I suspect you may have a bad cable box.Just call your cable provider and they should check and,or replace it for free.
