Does the VIP211 output 1080i/24 or 720p/24

[DIRANONI]

Some tv's that accept 1080i/24 still display everything at 60 Hz and must internally apply the 3:2 pulldown or convert to 60Hz without 3:2 pulldown. Such as the case with blu ray and Hd dvd.

The 24Hz input is useful it the display supports a vertical refresh rate that is a multiple of 24Hz (48Hz, 72Hz, 96Hz or 120Hz) and applies the correct pulldown for the display rate (i.e, 2:2, 3:3, 4:4 or 5:5 respectively).

Can the VIP211 or any dish receiver be forced to display 1080p/i /24 or 720p/24 or maybe through players such as the upcoming Oppo BDP-83?.

Thanks

The answer is no. Only the 622/722 will (temporarily) switch it's output to 1080p24 when a VOD stored on the hard drive is purchased/played.

Wouldn't it be kind of silly to force this on programming that is recorded and sent at 30 or 60 fps? It seems like an extra conversion step that would result in a loss of quality (I guess it depends on what can do a better job at conversion, your tv or the DVR, my bet is on most tv's).
