I believe his complaint is what you just stated…That the “Auto” for hdmi is not working properly.
He watches a mix of 24/30/60 hz material and he does not want to change the resolution manually for each file.
I only have a 720P/1080i TV so I can’t test this but maybe someone else can confirm and go to the link andrewa posted above to vote for the issue.
If it works properly for others, it could be that the this particular TV is not advertising support properly to the WDTV.
