Who do you get your T.V. service from

Nobody broadcasts in 1080p yet because it takes up too much bandwidth and the benefits aren't noticeable to hardly anybody.

I prefer a progressive signal of lower resolution to an interlaced signal of (sort of) higher resolution because I notice interlaced motion blur more than I notice any added clarity from the resolution, especially for something like a film transfer that comes across at 24 frames per second and has to go on a 30 or 60 fps display. 1080i and 720p are almost exactly the same amount of screen information, I just prefer it to be non-interlaced.

Thanks for the info Joe. By the way, have you seen the commercial with the large chested blonde in a cowboy hat that says "It's broadcast in 1080i! I so don't know what that means, but I won't it!" Pretty funny.... Can't even remember what the commercial was for. LOL
