Blu-ray is 1080. Usually p, but sometimes i. I suspect the specs won't let it go higher,though I'm not really sure. By definition, HD is anything above 480 (in the US). Broadcast TV can be either 720p or 1080i. Some networks/channels claim 720p is better for sports due to less motion artifacts. That hasn't been my experience. 1080 does require more bandwidth.
As for older TV shows, a lot has to do with the quality of the source material, and how well (or if) it has been remastered.
