It is physically possible for broadcasters to perhaps broadcast 1080p30, but not 1080p50 and 1080p60, which is the gold standard for Blu-Ray discs. However, don't even expect 1080p30 -- the changes needed, with regard to transmitters and tuners, would be far too substantial -- too much to be able to justify for improvement in resolution that would be gained. Expect, instead, that someday we may see some more substantial improvement -- figure something like 2160p ("Quad HDTV").

I would like to think that we'll see some advances in hologram and 3-d before broadcasters spend the cash to upgrade for sending 2160p res. Sorry, I'm a big trekkie over here.

There were so many tube TVs around in the beginning 1080i was considered better. 720p actually have to be converted in a lot of early tub sets to interlaced.

I could be wrong, but I can't see any advantage to 1080p restricted to 30 frames per second. To a large degree if you have an LCD or Plasma TV you are watching it now (in a sense). When displaying 1080i on a modern screen at least 2 fields are stored in memory to create a non interlaced field to be used to drive the LCD or Plasma.

I am speaking just from data I have read, without having seen 1080p30, then again few have over an OTA channel.

Not on 6Mhz bandwidth....now if they widen the bandwidth, then its easy peazy.

1080p30 will fit in a 6MHz channel. It's sent as no more bits than 1080i30

mr. rukus

hey piggie, tried to catch you on previos post. do you have a rough idea on the min/max in db's at the wall plates for digital signal? i'm figuring out the system i'm installing for splitter /tap runs and losses. also want to make sure i don't over drive.

mr. rukus

i haven't been able to get a straight yet. maybe you can help. thanks
