It also depends on where you place the tuner at. I tried to watch it in my bedroom but can only get 720p. When I placed it back where I was at my desk, I got 1080i and 720p. So faulty wiring or long distance for the signal to travel may have cut that off.
Hmm, that I'm confused here... its a digital signal! They either broadcast in 720p or 1080i... its like if you can't receive the 1080 you get 720 all of the sudden... I assure you, wiring and/or distance from transmitter is quite irrelevant. Either you get the signal as sent... or you get nothing. The beauty of digital.
