720p *is* true HD.

No.

At the moment she has the TW Box connected via component video, but
the image is definitely *NOT* HDTV-quality. What can we do to improve
the video?

It's quite possible that you're simply seeing all that your cable box
can deliver.

Sorry Ken, you are plain wrong. 720p is hd,
as is 1080i and 1080p.

No, not for European people.
Here in Europe 720 is only a little (25%) better than our SD (576).

That doesn't mean it isn't hd!

720 is too low for HD in Europe.
720 is only Extended density, not High density.

No, you're wrong on all counts. 720p HD is 1280x720p (1366x768 on most
all sets sold as 720p). Pal is only 720x576, so 720p is a lot more than
25% better. Pal is just a little better than NTSC, and not anywhere close
to 720p HD. NTSC = 345k pixels. Pal = 414k pixels. 702p (768) HD = 1049k
pixels. Ref:

Constructive/gratifying responses -- THANK YOU.

She'll pick up an HDMIDVI cable today, which for a few dollars should
optimize the situation.

Make sure she has the proper sound cable(s) if not already.

Yes, it is.

It may not be sufficient for YOUR desires, but 720p is high definition.

Someone must have elected Ken as god when we weren't looking.

576 + 25% = 720
