You can only change resolution on the 970HD when disc playback is stopped. Since you're already set to 1080i, though, that's not a concern. Instead you need to figure out how to get your TV to tell you what input resolution it is seeing. If it says "480p" then you have the official firmware. If it says "1080i" then you have the hacked firmware.
