That's because the TV's are ahead of the technology. Cable TV does not broadcast anything in 1080P yet;

A stated specification of 1080 is typically 1080i/720p. Which resolution to select from your source will be determined by the TV's video processor. If the video processor in your TV works well at 720p you will find that typically looks better. You will need to test each setting (1080i or 720p) to compare. I have not seen any TV's smaller than a 32" with 1080p resolution...and I would with confidence say, don't worry about the difference between 1080i and 1080p on a TV of this size...you won't see the difference! Dynamic range, contrast ratio, proper white balance, etc. are far more important. This generally requires calibration from someone who's certified and has the equipment do so but remember the quality of the source is everything!

I need to change the resolution to 1080 on a vizio D650i-B2

The resolution for TV's is auto sensed by the content being sent to it.
If you are playing a 720p file, you cannot make it 1080p. 720p vs 1080p Can You Tell The Difference Between HDTV Resolutions

How do i change from 480p to 1080p on my rca remote

You don't. The TV's resolution can't be changed. Only the signal resolution from the source can be altered.

The TV reports the resolution of the incoming signal before it is scaled. If you have a BD player you can see the effect of changing the resolution setting from 480p, to 720p, to 1080i, to 1080p 60, to 1080p 24. The last three (the 1080 resolutions) shouldn't look too different with a Blu-ray apart from movement because the native picture is 1080p 24 and the TV is simply converting it back to 1080p 24 for display.

Yo don't. The TV's resolution can't be changed. Only the signal resolution from the source can be altered.

The TV is a fixed pixel device. The panel has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The incoming video signal is scaled to fit that display. If the signal is 480i then it is deinterlaced to make it 480p, and then scaled up to make it 1080p. The amount of detail in the picture doesn't change. It's still a 480i image. It's just blown up to fill a 1080 panel.

The TV reports the resolution of the incoming signal before it is scaled. If you have a BD player you can see the effect of changing the resolution setting from 480p, to 720p, to 1080i, to 1080p 60, to 1080p 24.

960i is a funny resolution. That would be achieved by line doubling a 480i signal. But it's not one of the VESA HDTV timings. TTBOMK there's no Blu-ray or HD source that generates a 960i image. So even if you could generate it then the TV wouldn't understand what to do with it.

I need an authorisation code to retune a 42 inch LCD full HD 1080 TV Product L42E77AZ TCLELE

The TV will display the signal it is being fed with and adjust itself according to the video signal resolution. The video source tells the TV what the resolution it should display. 720 in 720 out on the screen, 1080 in 1080 on th screen (if TV can do 1080p or 1080i).
What kind of signal you are feeding your TV with.

I bought an insignia 26" 1080p yesterday and the display shows that the tv is currently showing the picture at 720p. How can i adjust this so that it is 1080

Generally speaking, your TV will display the signal it receives. DVD player output, for example, is 480p, but an upconvert DVD player can output the signal at 720p or 1080p. You should adjust your components (e.g. cable/satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray players, etc.) to the desired compatible output.

Blue ray wont play movies on new tv

Are you sure the tv is 1080p capable? Usually when "mode is not supported" is displayed, it means that the tv can not handle the signal format that is being input to it. If you are using HDMI, then signal formatting is usually handled automatically. If you are using component video, you will probably have to tell the PS3 to step down the signal to either 1080i or 720p.
