Please say it isn't so!
I just signed up and I have 24 more days before my 2 year contract requires me to pay to get out. If there is even a remote chance of Comcast 'down-rezzing' everything to 720p I'll cancel now. The picture quality already stinks and losing 1080i will only make it worse.
Can't be true right?
i'm not defending comcast here, but would point out that many sports and entertainment networks etc use 720p as it is less prone to 'blockiness' on fast motion. Being in native 'progressive' format may be ok. time will tell. At least at some point we shoulld be told (or firmware adjusted to be at 720p (all in my opinion).
