in the US, 8-VSB and MPEG2. Can do in Estonia, France and China where they are using DVB-T COFDM, DMB-TH TDS-OFDM and MPEG4.


Bob for God's sake he was asking for help in buying a TV set not your braindead propaganda. Screw off.

As to the original question, 1080i is a broadcast standard, TV sets are sold in 720p or 1080p. 720p sets tend to be the cheaper ones, often smaller sizes. 1080 sets tend to be bigger and have twice as many pixels. Whether you can actually see those pixels depends on the type of input, the size of the set and how close you are sitting.

If you expect to be watching a lot of standard definition broadcasting get a 720. If you expect to be watching mostly HD you might want to invest in a 1080. But bottom line it's your money and your tastes.
