A friend asked me for some 1080p information, which I don't know the
complete answer to. Today, so far as I can find, the only advantage of
some 1080p sets would be that they refresh at 120 fps instead of 60.
Are there other good reasons to buy one now?
Here's his question:
"I'm a TV watcher, not a DVD viewer. I have two HD TiVos (1 Series 3 and
one HDXL.) With the huge FIOS lineup and 4 simultaneous streams of TV
capture capability, I don't watch much DVD material. With TiVo and
Broadcast TV pretty much limited to 1080i or 720p as their highest
quality formats, is there any advantage to purchasing a 1080p-capable
TV? If so, what is it?"
Also, for my curiosity, are any of the satellite services DTV, Dish and
HD Net, cable and fiber video services transmitting 1080p programming
today on a *regular* basis, and if not, when will they start?
Thanks,
Cliff
