Television has come a long way since the days of bunny ears antennae.

High-definition (HD) televisions, such as the ones made by RCA, are used to display high-defintion signals from HD devices, such as Blu-ray players or HD cable boxes. Since it is only the job of the television to display the signal, you must change the signal's resolution on the device that is sending the signal. For this reason, you must use the menu in your high-definition device to change the display resolution to 1080i.
