Yes 1080i native runs at 1.485Gbps 1080P native runs at 3.0Gbps.
knowing that tons of compression is needed for both. However this Legend event will be downloaded onto your VIP Not a live stream so it will be BluRay quality.

Hmmm. So the 1080p will work with BOTH the 622 and 722. I don't understand. They said that the 622 had a different graphics chip that would not allow HD VOD. That was when they came out with the 722 and they said that it would do HD VOD and had a larger hard drive.
So if the 622 didn't have the correct hardware to do 1080p, how can they send out a software update to magically "add it."
Its like buying a black and white only television, and then a few years later when shows in color come out, you push a button and all the sudden your black and white TV starts playing in color?

I just cannot see why all the providers (satellite and cable) think they can make money charging more for rentals than what our local Blockbuster (or Netflix for that matter) charges. I would be interested to see how many people buy these PPV movies. I habe been a dish sub for years and can count on one hand the number of movies I have bought off them. Based on this pricing (if it is really $6.99) I would have to say a Blue Ray player is in my future.
