Some general guidelines:
Pick 1 source and trouble shoot it until it improves.
If you have a BluRay player - focus on this. Use a Pixar BluRay disk and use the video test-patterns in the setup menu. (While moving objects are nice - it is really hard to see improvements/changes with dynamic content. Fixed test patterns are better).
Disconenct and Reconenct the BluRay player to HDMI 1 input. Check the TV setup menu to insure HDMI 1 can take 1080 signals. Check the BluRay player setup to make sure it is set to output 1080.
Use the TV color, brightness, contrast and the test patterns on the Pixar disk to properly set the values. Remember - better televisions use separate settings per input.
If you get the picture to look good on HDMI 1 - then turn things off, and connect into HDMI 2 and fire things back up. Repeat the calibration (brightness, contrast, color) for input 2,3,4 so they all look the same and good.
Now - plug in the HD DVR to it's normal input and bring up a menu. Tweek the brightness, color, contrast as best you can for that input.
Now plug in your game system and repeat.
Hopefully you will discover the problem.
