1080i is the main standard for HD broadcasting. (720p is the other standard employed). 1080p is not used for broadcasting at present and is unlikely to be used for a number of years. Broadcasters are still busy moving to 1080i, so expect a delay before 1080p makes much of an appearance. The difference between them is the way the image is created. the "i" stands for interlaced and means that each fram is made up of two fields. One field shows all the odd numbered lines and the other shows all the even numbered lines. If a field is shown 60 times each second, the whole frame is shown 30 times each second. "p" stands for progressive and means that each field carries all the lines of the image. If 60 fields are shown each second, then 60 full frames are also shown each second. therefore, double the data is required for 1080p compared to 1080i. Theoretically, 1080p can produce better quality than 1080i but compression for storage can mean the difference is minimal.

Can you use a 1080i receiver with a 1080p device?
Yes, you can use a 1080i receiver with a 1080p device. The receiver will output a 1080i signal, which the 1080p device can still display, though the device may not fully utilize its 1080p capabilities. The quality will depend on the device's upscaling capabilities, which can enhance the visual experience. However, for optimal performance, it is generally better to match the output resolution of the receiver with the input capability of the device.
Why is your 1080p television showing 1080i?
It's to do with the resolution. The 1080 identifies the number of lines that create the image, so 1080p and 1080i have the same number of lines. The letter stands for the type scan the TV uses. The P stands for progressive and the I stands for interlaced. Progressive will process the image twice as fast as interlaced and therefore produces better colour and clarity.
