I looked at those...the problem is that locals don't broadcast 1080p because they lack the bandwidth for current compression ratios, and likely won't for awhile.

The broadcast signals are upconverted. I believe that future devices like Blu-Ray disc players, Sony Playstations and Mac minis will supply true 1080p signals.
