I'm pretty sure.. I am running a 5 LNB dish which gives all the hi-def channels. But HD (television) is not 1080p, it's 1080i. That's why, unless you plan to run a HDDVD or Blu-Ray, it doesn't make sense to buy a 1080p television.

As amazing as Directv, 1080i picture looks, you should see how ridiculously even more amazing a 1080p Blu Ray, dvd looks on my 1080p plasma.

I don't believe there is any plans to broadcast in 1080p anytime in the near future. So for now, the only 1080p signals that I am aware of are Blu Ray and HDDVD.
