Until Sky makes the move to HDTV I think the UK is out of luck. I haven't heard any major talk from either the BBC or Sky about HDTV.Scaler based dvd players are an option. I designed a player that offers 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and PAL that is all user selectable. But you have to have a market for the product. The only thing that looks promising for the UK is 720p (maybe). You have to understand PAL is not a bad looking format compared to NTSC. But you also have to understand all programing is packaged under Sky for the most part and they have no intensions of expanding at this present time. Once Sky makes the move I'm sure you'll see more and more tv sets offer optional resolution input formats.
