Virgin plus and hdq question

Hi all,
I just got my new virgin plus box yesterday and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best settings are to use with my lumagen HDP.

Equally the lack of DVI/HDMI on the HDP is starting to become a real issue for me, and i was wondering if the HDQ offer any improvement over the HDP or is the only differance being more digital inputs? Ideally i would like to upgrade to the Radance (but its not an option at this stage).
thanks

I used 1080i out on mine to my HDP Pro.

The only difference on HDQ is more inputs.

Re: Virgin plus and hdq question

Can't rememebr if it's 1080i wide or 1080i. Only difference is that the box will pillarbox 4:3 content inside the 16:9 image if set to WIDE I think. I think I used the WIDE setting to make things easier for mrs convergent
