I finally got the HD box the other day and just started playing around with it. Will I get screen burn on my TV due to the letterboxing involved with HD? I have a 43 inch Sony that I purchased last year.

IS your TV widescreen?
If you are talking about watching 4:3 digital programming on a widescreen or 16:9 on a traditonal then yes you are opening yourself up to burn in.
HD on a widescreen fills the tv completely so no burn.

No, my tv is not widescreen. Any suggestions to stop burn in? So far, I just see myself watching sports on it.

The only suggestion is to minimize the amount of time you have a static image - any static image on the screen. You should limit it to less than 15% of your viewing time.
