comcast upgrade


hi guys
this week comcast did an upgrade in our area.to me it was an downgrade.
first thing that happen was my box would not keep 1080 or 720 on the hd stations when the tv was shut down,it woud revert back to 480.after 4hrs with 5 different so called tech people,they decided i needed a new box.
with the new upgrade there is no way to get into the settings to install the pass through which reads resolution the station is transmitting and the box picks up and changes to 1080 or 720.on the hd channels it stays on 1080 now.
ok i can live with that but my big issue is that you now can`t change the setting on the audio to 2channel and disengage dolby 5.1.i run a optical from the cable box into my cary sacd player for audio on movies.my system is not compatable for dolby.
anyone else running into this dilemma
thanks

I have a different cable company that does these upgrades. Then a lot of new bugs until they learn about it. When that happens, it's time for more upgrades. They are good at billing us for them though. And yesterday, I saw their trucks all over doing something, and I'm guessing more upgrades. LOL.
