Honestly I don't know.. I do believe DirecTV HD is broadcast in 1080i. (not sure what HBO broadcast in ?)
when I got my hi-def plasma t.v. I also bought some hi-end DVD player. (that's what the salesman said anyway) connects via HDMI, and so does my DirecTV Receiver... I'll take either one on my T.V. looks just fantastic.
I made a point YEARS ago, of making sure any DVDs I bought were wide screen, certainly glad I made that decision.
