can someone help?

[sooz]

I am trying to hook up a new blue ray but we are electronically retared.

This is what I have:
cable DVR
Blue ray- (new)
stereo receiver-(new)
tv- (fairly new but does not have a HDMI connection)
surround speakers

At the time we now have the cable DVR directly hooked to the TV and for some reason all of our HD channels are running horizontally-can't see them. Can anyone help?

Please provide make/model # for your gear instead of just a list.

It's akin to asking on a car forum "I have a car that isn't working - it's a sedan with four doors".

Details man! We need details! :D
