What are you talking about? If they were using 1440x1080i then either the aspect ratio would be 4:3 fullscreen, or a 4:3 aspect image stretched to 16:9 because almost all the content is widescreen. The BBC have the highest quality 1080i channels and all knowledge I have on the subject tells me that's because they use the highest bitrate (as compared to all other HD channels) and a non-resized 1920x1080i image.

Stop giving out erroneous and misleading information.
That is incorrect.

The UK broadcasts are typically at a resolution of 1440x1080i and encoded in MPEG-4 H.264/AVC on satellite and terrestrial television and in MPEG-2 on cable. Although it is not 1920x1080, the resolution is within European Broadcasting Union specifications for HD

BBC One HD is also the same.

The BBC does certainly not use the highest bitrate for there HD channels.
