Google is your friend... try this:
"After the cable guy changed the MOXI output from 480i to 720p, I got a picture briefly ... then lost the signal again. I had to figure it out for him: the MOXI has an autoswitching feature that's supposed to detect the type of TV connection, and for some reason it thought the Samsung was a 480i and switched itself back to 480i after a few seconds. It turns out that you have to hit "save settings" on the MOXI setup screen after you switch to 720p output, at least when connected to a Samsung. "
However, you may be out of luck. Check this out from http://users.adelphia.net/~ksoltmann/SPLMoxiFAQ.htm:
"Incompatibility between Samsung DLP TVs and Motorola Moxi 720p output
There is a known 720p resolution incompatibility between certain Motorola tuners and Samsung DLP TVs. It affects Motorola 51xx, 62xx, and HDT101 tuners, as well as the Moxi's (and perhaps others). The affected Samsung DLP TVs include newer HLN and all HLP models. However, the Motorola tuners work fine at 720p with many other TVs, including some older Samsung HLN models. In addition, the incompatible Samsung models work fine at 720p with non-Motorola tuners and other HD devices, like game consoles and upconverting DVD players. So, it is difficult to say whether Motorola or Samsung is at fault for the incompatibility.
Some reports claim that Samsung can replace an input board to fix the problem. Other reports claim that a Motorola firmware update originally created the problem. If you are in a cable system in which the DVI port on the Moxi is functional (currently, Adelphia systems with software version 3.2), you could use that deliver 720p signals. Otherwise, owners of the affected Samsung TVs should set the Video Output to 1080i instead of 720p. Even though this is not the native resolution of these DLP TVs, the picture quality should be excellent."
Hope this helps. Let me know if Charter ever lets Moxi upgrade or add a decent hard drive
