There will be 720p and 1080i broadcasts from "Sky" satellite, they will alternate.
My projector was stolen in a robbery so I'm going to get a 720p widescreen HDTV ready one to replace it. There does not seem to be a 1080 resolution one. Even the plasmas seem to only support 720 horizontal lines.
Question:
Does the 1080i get compressed to fit on the 720 lines, losing detail, or does the interlaced picture in some way get fully shown by using the horizontal resolution by alternating the use of the horizontal pixels?
Is 720p any good? Remember we have 576i on PAL. Doesn't seem like much of an improvement? The eye is fooled by interlacing quite well, so the fact that it is going progressive doesn't seem to me to be much of a move. 1080i seems much more exciting if I can be sure it is displayed effectively. Over here the hype is that there is four times the resolution on 720p but I can't work out why.
1080p is a long way off and very expensive to get a projector here.
