What do you need to watch Blu-ray discs in 1080i?
A Blu-Ray player is the first requirement.

Are tivo's compatible with HD tv's?
Tivo's are compatible with HDTV with many combinations of hardware and performance. # Tivo's HDseries3 records and plays back HDTV signals for best HDTV experience. You need the HD signal from satellite, cable, or (antenna) channels.

A series2 Tivo will only store and replay the lower quality analog signals. # Feb 2009 the analog signal channels will no longer be locally broadcast by antenna. The FCC is administering a program to provide each household a converter to modifying the HDTV signal to the lesser quality analog channels.

Do I need to buy a HDTV tuner to get 1080p signals over the air on your un55c8000 HDTV -- I have a very good outside digital antenna?
1080p signals are not currently being broadcast on any major network at present. Broadcasters are currently using either 1080i or 720p. 1080p demands twice the bandwidth and it is expected to be some time before they become available as on air signals. 1080p is currently limited to local sources such as Bluray and games consoles but the signal format is dependent on the content that is being played in the player or console.

What is the difference between hdtv and hdtv monitor?
HDTV is a new format for displaying a TV picture. It has higher resolution and clarity than the old NTSC format. Most stations that are broadcasting digital signals are now using 4 channels for every 1 they had before. They are reserving some channels for HDTV format and some channels for NTSC format. An HDTV will display the HDTV format and probably the NTSC format as well. An HDTV monitor can display the same picture, but probably lacks a tuner to actually receive the television signals. You need to plug something into it like a computer, a DVD player, or a tuner. If that thing sends out an HDTV signal then you can see it on the monitor.
Do satellite TV companies offer 1080p signal in the US?
As of summer 2008, all satellite and cable companies in the US transmit only 1080i digital signal. When a cable or satellite service is used, there is no advantage of 1080p TV set over 1080i TV set. However 1080p sets usually come with some other more advanced specifications, which may make the image higher quality. Cable and satellite companies do not intend to upgrade the 1080i signal to 1080p in the near future, since this would involve high investment outlays and greater broadband capacity in their network. 1080p TV sets can fully utilize their potential when blue ray discs are played from DVD players.
