Not unless your TV specifically supports a feature that stretches out the image to 16:9. I would imagine that this would further degrade the image.

Ahhh, you have a CRT tv. That explains the 1080i resolution.
If it does not change the aspect, should it at least stay 4:3 and should the image to be as pristine as a normal HD Cable program, (for this tv it looks pretty phenomenal) and they are in16:9.

Hope to gain a wealth of knowledge and maybe use it.
