    Sky UK HD Channels Resolution

    Is it true that the HD channels are only broadcasted in 720 and not 1080?

                Yeah can do mate, although in my experience a 1080p is better for futrure proofing and only a tad more expensive anyway, also my 55 inch sony upscales 1080i to the top 1080p and its crisp and sharp as anything
