It sounds like your TV only supports 480i.  My sister has a tv like this.  It's a cheap 43" toshiba projection TV purchased from costco about 4 years for $1200.  it has component, but it won't even handle 480p.

There are no min. requirements to have component connectors.  Usually it does indicate support for 480p (progressive) but it doesn't have to.  All you can be assured of having is 480i.

Unless you have HD you won't have 720 or 1080.
