Provider: Rogers, 3250HD cable box
Equipment: Sharp Aquos 32" LCD, sitting where the old tube TV sat (wall mount in the box for the last year!)
Resolutions watched: 720p for all HD channels, 480p for upconverted pirate satellite and LG HDD PVR, regular cable for shows not broadcast in HD and not broadcast in letterbox.
Impressions: Almost every major U.S. network show is on in HD, and most of the Candian ones. Even Dr. Who on CBC is in true HD this year. I've had the TV for almost two years now so I'm used to watching in HD. Anything not on in HD is a bitter disappointment.
At least for my TV, 720p looks much better than 1080i, especially for shows with lots of motion like the Leafs or NASCAR (F1 is still not in HD...). If only the stupid Rogers box would remember it's settings. It regularly reverts back to 1080i on power-up.
As NOS said, anybody who comes over and sees the TV is blown away.
