HD ready isn't 1080i. It's 720i. As you say everybody broadcasts 1080i, so anybody watching on an "HD ready" TV isn't getting full HD.Originally posted by d000hg View PostNot really. Many people choose to buy 1080i rather than 1080p because it's only on blu-ray you can take advantage of it. Many claim normal TV is better on 1080i TVs, and nobody broadcasts full-HD transmissions (and probably won't anytime soon).Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I know Sky used to broadcast the sports channels in 720 (to keep the frame rates up???) but I think that's stopped now."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
