Originally posted by Widwi FYI: HDTVGALAXY shows ABC programming as 720p, but our local affiliate is broadcasting in 1080i. The reason being (hope I get this right) is that most HDTV owners in our area do not have the equipment to process 720p. |
Originally posted by R8der Well that's completely wrong. They may broadcast in 1080i for some reason, but it's not the one stated. I don't think there is a single STB out there that can't receive 720p and convert it to 1080i. It is true that most HDTV owners cannot view 720p "natively"....but that's a completely different situation. The national feed is 720p.....so if they are broadcasting in 1080i they are converting it prior to broadcast. Chris |
