Cable box conversion ahead of the HDTV itself ?

My SciAtl 4200HD cable box has these settings Upconvert-1, upconvert-2, passthru, fixed. The passthru and fixed I figured out. But I called my cable company and they could not explain the difference with cvt-1 v.s. cvt-2. It looks to me like the better picture results from letting the cable box upconvert for the TV ; either cvt1 or 2 look about the same but better than passthru.

Up1 and Up2 convert a non-HD signal to either 720p or 1080i respectively.

Do you mean to say than an HD signal ( > 480) will be unaffected by these box settings? Or does up2 convert a HD 720 signal to 1080i too?
