I just subscribed to Direct TV. Some shows are marked HD. Does that
mean they are 720p? Are any programs shown on Direct TV 1080p?

My TV will tell me the resolution of the current show, in its info
display.

If you want to know in advance, I have no idea. Maybe the online guide?

Mine says 1080i on every channel.

It says 1080i on channels that are not listed as HD. Even the
channels that have a 4:3 ratio report as 1080i.
