Seriously,
You would expect an industry leader in quality, reliability, and speed to offer equipment to support a five year old HD tv that can recieve 1080p 120hz signal and the boxes we recieved do not support either!?!? After 2 full days of nothing but issues and driving 140 miles to return a box i recieved Dead On Arrival, Xfininty is beginning to look more and more attractive...

How are you connecting the dvr to your tv? If it's not by HDMI you won't get true full 1080p. As far as the refresh rate goes that is based on the network providing the show. If the network is only showing it a certain way thats all you'll get on the tv.

Refresh rate is based on the TV, not the STB. The STB can do 1080p24 and 1080p30, but few if any shows are available as such. Early on, before FIOS launched, some ota broadcasting of 1080p24 was tried, but many early TV's handled it badly and they decided to just use 1080i and let the TV deinterlace it if it could. Occassionally some on-demand offerings have been in in 1080p24.

On the motorola boxes native aspect support 1080P30, 1080p2t, 1080i, 720P,480P and 480i. Hit off, ok menu to see them. I'm told the Cisco boxes also support them.
However although 1080p30 and 1080p24 (most movies are 24fps) are supported in the broadcast standard, it has pretty much abandoned by the broadcasters. YES IT WAS BROADCAST notably by CBS in many areas in early HDTV days. They found that many boxes screwed up when they did so. Some just screwed up the pictures, and some couldn't hangle a channel that was in 1080i switching to 1080p for just one program and worse switching back for ads. And since most TVS that support 1080P24 can extract a 1080p24 from a 1080i broadcast, they decided to just leave it at 1080i all the time.

People are trying to help explain things to you and help you. Not everyone has details of how your tv is set up. They arent psychic. You wont get much help with the way you are replying. Good luck to you.
