Sky HD to be all 1080i
EXCLUSIVE: Sky changes mind and announces 1080i for all its HD broadcasts
So whos bought a 720p only tele then? :P
"Having originally stated that it would likely use a combination of 720p and 1080i high definition formats on its new HD platform, Sky has just exclusively revealed to us that it's now intending to broadcast all of its Sky HD channels in the 1080i format from launch.
It will be interesting to see how this surprising decision works out when it comes to showing sports footage, which is widely thought to look better in 720p because of its high motion content. The 1080i decision also lends a little - though it really is only a little - more credibility to the scare story run in the Daily Mail a few weeks back suggesting that the 720/768-line TVs that currently make up the vast majority of the TV market aren't completely ideal for getting the best from the available (1080i) HD signals.
Another interesting fact we discovered during our discussions with Sky is that the Sky HD receiver will apparently let you adjust the signal output from the box so that, say, even though a broadcast is in 1080i, the box can output it in 720p."
That last paragragh should read "the receiver can fudge the picture to fit your already Obsolete TV, and make the picture poor quality".
