So you're asking me that if I deliver at 1080p then why do Shaw broadcast in 1080i?

You'll have to ask Shaw why they choose to broadcast at lower than full HD.

The specification we delivery ALL our HD broadcast materials are 1920x1080 at 24 frames per second.

What they do with it once they receive it is up the individual network to decide.

Like I said before I dumbed it down a lot - perhaps too much for some.

Guess I don't understand why they would down grade it, aside from being able to offer a new "super Hi-def" package later. sorry was just thinking outloud with my fingers hehe

It's probably to do with keeping down the bandwidth they use up as most people wont notice the difference between 1080p & 1080i.

actualy you can see quite a differance between 1080p and 1080i, its not as close as people think. but yes it is good enough for most.
