I have a Pioneer SD-532HD5 that does 480i, 480p, & 1080i. I am very interested in obtaining an HDTV decoder and enjoying all the HDTV programming out there.
When I surfed to HDTV Galaxy and checked the listings, I found that there is not a 100% 1080i rate with all networks. It looks like this:
PBS: Widescreen, but still 480i
FOX: Widescreen? (I don't know) but 480p
ABC: Widescreen? (I don't know) but 720p
All the other HD programming seemed to be listed as 1080i and widescreen, so I know I am golden there.
I am unclear on how my set will display such outputs as mentioned above. Will the PBS programming be widescreen once I decode the "HD" signal?
Will the FOX programming be widescreen?
Will the ABC programming be widescreen? Since my set can only do the three formats listed above, how will it display 720p?
In case you are wondering why I ask so many questions, it is only because I understand HD is under attack and I want to become an informed soldier.
