Same issue here. Note : I am using TS+ HD.

Also Note; I am connecting via Component Cable on my 32 inch HD ready Panansonic, Component is detecting the resolution of only 576i and not 720p es earlier in my HD STB.
I tried the component cable too (RGB) on my Panasonic 42in plasma TV. Got the same results! The 'TV Type' refuses to budge from 'SD' to 'HD'. However, I am able to view true HD channels with good clarity.
How is it that you aren't getting 720p and 1080p on your STB? Mine is showing all even with a component input! But I can't make out the difference in clarity between 576p and 1080p. Looks just the same!
But I've noticed that after that change to MPEG4 from MPG2, the quality seems to have deteriorated. Earlier, even the SD channels were extremely clear and were almost at par with HD clarity. But now the quality sucks, with small squares appearing all of a sudden and also blurriness.
WTF? All was going well but it seems the new software they installed after changing to MPEG4 has screwed things up royally! I guess we'll have to live with this poor quality till the cows come home!
Cheers!

I have a Component Connection from Tata Sky HD to my TV and it always supported 1080i. However, from about one week back it started showing 576i on my TV. In the TSHD user settings >> picture settings - it showed SD only - no matter what I do, it did not change to HD. But on HD settings it showed 1080i.I called up TS and the engineer came within 10 minutes of lodging the complaint. The engineer clearly said that they have STOPPED supporting HD on Component - I must move to HDMI.

So have they completely moved from mpeg2 to mpeg4 ? What about the STBs that doesn't support it? Does this mean we have a chance of getting ESPN HD now, instead of waiting for a satellite launch?

What?

I have both mpeg2 and mpeg4 STB, I asked a dealer to buy Mpeg2 box he said he will take it for 100Bucks. When i asked Tata Sky people they told if i return mpeg2 and take mpeg4 it will cost me 1000 and i will get 100 as balance. Anyways sounds the way.. So decided to keep aside and Will return if they offer something good.

It seems we all have the same problem!! Looks like there's unfortunately no TS engineer who can sort out this problem!! Each one has his own theory!
I called up TS and the engineer came within 10 minutes of lodging the complaint. The engineer clearly said that they have STOPPED supporting HD on Component - I must move to HDMI.
Bullsh!t! What the heck is he talking about? Component video cables also carry HD signals up to 1080p!
Component cables are actually used by many professional HT installers in preference to HDMI because it's a more reliable connector. You would not see ANY difference between 1080i (or 720p) on component vs HDMI.
Note that Component is video only, so you will need to connect up audio as well (using either analog stereo (red/white) or optical .. depending on what your TV accepts.
