Of course you meant 1080i ,1080p broadcasts in the UK don't exist .:dunce:

I'm absolutely sure some BBC Freeview Broadcasts are 1080p on the T2 platform.
This has been discussed on many tech sites.

plz link to prove me and the pros wrong.

Digital Cinema 4k resolution is 4036 x 2160.
4k UHD Resolution is 3840 x 2160.
I'm sure that BT say 4k UHD which is correct.
My TV will take the larger resolution of 4036 x 2160 and ignore the extra vertical lines so the picture shows with no stretching or shrinking.

Just type into Google - what resolution is 4K. Or to save you some time, here is a link from that search... Which shows it isn't 100% straightforward

Beat me to it :-)

Ultra High Definition, or UHD for short, is the next step up from what’s called full HD, the official name for the display resolution of 1,920 by 1,080. UHD quadruples that resolution to 3,840 by 2,160. It’s not the same as the 4K resolution made above — and yet almost every TV or monitor you see advertised as 4K is actually UHD. Sure, there are some panels out there that are 4,096 by 2,160, which adds up to an aspect ratio of 1.9:1. But the vast majority are 3,840 by 2,160, for a*1.78:1 aspect ratio.

that paragraph alone tells you its different.
