Att Uverse 720 Not 1080I? ADVERTS 1
I had a tech changing out my HD Dvr. He told me Att only, as of now, broadcasts
in 720.
Wow I thought it was 1080I???
That would be very dissapointing...
Anyone have clarification on this??

I would THINK that the resolution is channel dependent; NOT that U-verse is scaling all HD to 720p regardless of the originating resolution; that would just not make any sense at all IMHO. YOu should be able to do you own test by setting your receiver to native (or whatever AT&T's equal is) and then tune to a known 1080i network like CBS Sports and then pull up your TV's display menu and see what resolution its says it is getting input.

What if they were and then telling the box to upscale to 1080I. I could see them doing that in order to save bandwidth? Would there be any bandwidth savings in that?

1080I

It displayed 1080I for Uverse HD.
Not sure why the tech was so possitive about his 720P claim. Plus this guy was a top tier supervisor.
If it was 720P I would disconnect Att immediatly.
I already have Dish, Direc. Why in the world would I downgrade?
Right?

720p isn't necessarily a downgrade from 1080i. Originally Posted by lern4483

I agree with Jeff above me; but they should be passing it along as the originating channel gives it to them; which it seems they are.
