I think that you are correct, as far as I know TI has not released a 1080p chip and I don't know of any other source.

In a sense this is true, I think all the signals are stored in a 1080 x 1920 RAM array. The difference is that each field is updated twice as often for 1080p as it is for 1080i, so during a pan or zoom shot there will be less jump or flicker. Once the picture is stable they will be effectively indistinguisable from each other. Of course all this assumes a source (not sattelite or cable) that can process that many bits per second, maybe the HiDef DVD when they get it right. With most current sources the MPEG pixellation overshadows digital picture artifacts.

Why can't more people see this unbelievably irritating flicker? When I bought my first satellite reciever about 9 years ago the picture was spectacular, its been going downhill ever since. As the satellite company squeezes ever more channels and services onto the same digital data stream, the amount of information for each individual channel decreases (ps. the cost has not). They long since passed the pixellation perception threshold for any decent TV, maybe their signals look OK to them on a 19" 1960's black and white Emerson TV.
