1080p HDTV
You may know that 1080i refers to 1080 lines of vertical resolution interlaced. This means that instead of 30 frames a second, the TV displays 60 fields per second, where each field contains alternate lines of the picture. Because the fields are refreshed so quickly, your brain interprets the signal as 30 full frames per second.
720p means 720 vertical lines of progressive scan video where every frame of the signal is displayed in its entirety, giving a higher-quality, film-like appearance to the picture.
Most HDTVs or HDTV-ready TVs support either 720p or both 1080i and 720p, very few support 1080p HDTV. Part of the reason for this is that very few broadcasters want to broadcast 1080p signals. The reason for that is that 1080p requires significantly higher bandwidth than either 1080i or 720p. And for broadcasters, bandwidth is a precious commodity. Using up more bandwidth for one signal means that there is less room for other channels. So in many cases, opting for a 1080p signal would mean dropping or degrading other channels.
Is 1080p HDTV important? Well, yes and no. Not all video footage benefits greatly from progressive scan. Sports broadcasts and action movies look better at 720p than 1080i because there is lots of fast movement and the interlacing in 1080i is sometimes noticeable, reducing the quality of the picture. Movies and TV shows where there is not a great deal of fast action look better at 1080i than 720p because the higher resolution has a greater impact on quality than the progressive scan, which has little effect where there is only a small difference in the image between frames.
So, while 1080p HDTV is the best of both worlds, the cost in terms of bandwidth, is very high compared to the benefit for most people most of the time.
Is there any portable HDTV Recording technology in the pipeline?
I was wondering if there is anything like a VCR for HDTV in development or production. I'm looking for something that can record HDTV, and then I can have it, like a video tape or HD-DVD. I already have a DVR that can record, but it's stuck in the DVR and can't be kept permanently or shared with others, and it is also limited by the DVR's Hard Drive size.
To This_One_Dude: No I'm counting on the other capitalists and entrepeneurs out there like Steve Jobs and Wozniak, Bill Gates, the guys who founded Google or Yahoo. Notice how this stuff doesn't get created in socialist countries? Ever wonder why?

Do portable HDTV's exist ?
I'm just curious.....
You know something that resembles a laptop, but it's only the HDTV itself, and nothing else.
Do they make them ?

Getting HD Channels over Antenna?
I have a question. I am about to be moving into an older house that has an older antenna. Right now I am using a little portable HDTV (from Wally World) antenna to get my Local HD channels, but my question is if I use the old antenna to get my TV, will it be able to pick up HDTV, or do I need to buy a newer antenna? I don't think my little antenna will work because I am moving to a town where the TV stations are located about 90 miles away and I don't think it can pick up those signals. Thanks!
I know that there are HD Channels there, but I am not sure if I am required to buy an HD antenna to pick up channels, if my old timey antenna will work with my HDTV,or if I need a Converter box (and if so is it truly HDTV or just Digital TV, if there is a difference) Thanks.

BITS; Disruptions: TV Makers Ignore Apps At Their Own Peril
12 Mar 2012 at 12:00am SAN FRANCISCO -- Every night, I get home from work, drop onto the couch and sit there surfing the Web or watching videos on my 3 1/2-inch iPhone screen. My big-screen HDTV sits powered off on the other side of the room. It isn't broken, either - well, at least not in the traditional sense. It's actually brand new. When I moved here last year I...Read more...
Q & A; Talking Out of Turn

Q.I watch television through a small antenna attached to my HDTV. Sometimes the sound and picture get increasingly out of sync as a show goes on. The sound usually precedes the picture. Why does that happen? A. Although the pictures and sound in digital television are transmitted together (the technical term is ''multiplexed''), they are ''separate...Read more...

STATE OF THE ART; Big Screen, Powered By iPhone

Everything changed when people started writing their own apps for the iPhone. Suddenly its talents as a phone -- which, at least at the outset, weren't particularly impressive -- paled in comparison to its abilities as a computer. These days, this business of phone-as-brain goes way beyond stand-alone apps. Nowadays, the iPhone handles the...Read more...
