1080p is pointless at the moment anyway - nothing utilizes it - not HD-DVD, not Sky HD or telewest TVDrive, they are all 720p and/or 1080i.

Blu-Ray can do 1080P, but the sets will cost a mint and as there is nothing apart from Blu-Ray to make it mass market at the moment there isnt much point.

Anything thats 720P or 1080i is perfectly acceptable for the next 4 or 5 years at least.

Yeah your right, but its 1080 vertical lines only for 1080i, however most have 1024, what this means is that 58 lines of pixels will be missing from the picture 28 top and bottom.

Which is probably only about a cm of the picture.

Not really that much to worry about concidering if you have a "Widescreen" CRT your missing more than that at the edge with most.

Its the other way round. Most have 1024 horizontal and 768 vertical.

AS the sky+ box is only £50 (if ya get the discount on offer IF you have the right Credit card), the HD box is costing an extra £250
The boxes on cable is not free, the rental fee is added to your monthly subscription on cable. drop the service and they can ask for it back. ive moved and Telewest did request it , but changed their minds. after i said they ll have to collect it, with no one home, so they wanted it binned instead.
