For the UK, 720p produces 50 frames per second. 1080i produces 25 frames per second.
Sky and ntl have gone for 1080i encoding, so the best results will be seen on a 1080i screen. A 720p screen means either the STB or the screen itself has to convert to 720p from 1080i, adding an extra conversion stage meaning an additional impact on the picture quality.

Is that 1080i on all channels for SKY and NTL?
