Comcast, the second biggest MVPD in the U.S. has been converting 1080i signals to 720p because you can carry 9 720p channels for the same bandwidth required to carry 8 1080i channels. I don't think we are ever going to see 1080p60 due to bandwidth constraints.

Wait-Comcast is taking content that comes from the content provider at 1080i and changing the resolution to 720p? I knew that they did a lot of transrating but hadn't heard this before.What channels?

For a while they've done this on ESPN, ABC, and one other I tend to forget. Not an overwhelming portion of their package as of yet though

ESPN and ABC are provided by the content providers at 720p-it's not comcast changing the resolution. All the Fox channels are provided at 720p too.
