You need a 1080p capable display to properly to render this in it's entirety. If you don't then your TV will be downsizing the signal to 1080i, 720p, 720i etc.
then why does shaw broadcast there HD at 1080i? I have the TV to support P, but the highest output availble from my HD box is 1080i.

And Sony, although I don't like sony, that what was bought for me, decided in there infanate wisdone to not allow there blue-ray player to push 1080p through componant, so if you want the p you have to use HDMI. so now I have to buy an new reciver and TV mind you my Tv is starting to have issues anyways
