1080i is still a 1920 x 1080 resolution frame, the i means interlaced (every other line on the screen is drawn on each pass) rather than progressive (every line is drawn on every pass).
1440x1080 is nothing to do with anything in broadcast TV - in fact, its not even the correct aspect ratio for widescreen TV (1440x1080 would be a 4:3 aspect ratio, not the 16:9 widescreen TV uses)
