You obviously also didn't read the rest of the thread before posting.

I say this because I see the soft washed out picture whether I'm at 720p or 1080i, but I also get the flicker with 720p.
Whereas Lew says he can't see a PQ problem unless he's up close and looking at the interlacing.
Hopefully they are one and the same... but I have that nagging doubt.

Thinking some more on this post, I believe the reason you see a washed-out picture on 1080i and 720p and a flickering picture on 720p is because your TV is 720p, although I'd imagine that like most 720p TVs sold here it's actually 768p so both resolutions are slightly scaled. Even with a 1080p TV the 720p setting flickers so that's what the TiVo is outputting, but your TV scaling the 1080i output would make it look the same as the 720p output. Am I right in thinking that, apart from the flicker, the 720p and 1080i settings look pretty much the same on your TV? I think that the interlaced picture is probably only visible as such on a 1080 screen; lower-resolution screens should make it look the same as the 720p setting.
