Does DirecTV HD broadcast in 1080P? I'm trying decide if it's worth
paying more for a 1080P TV.
Thanks!

DirecTV HD broadcasts are 1080i. I seem to have read here that the
only way one can get 1080p content is via a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.
However, my 1080p DLP Samsung looks great with a 1080i signal from
DirecTV.

Most of the broadcasts are 1080i, but some are 720p.
