?? A blanket statement like that is not correct. Viewing habits, size restricitions and budget need to be considered.
No one currently broadcasts 1080p. It'll be years before anyone does if they ever do. It's a bandwidth infrastructure issue.
There is not that much HD DVD content out there to begin with and the standard calls for backwards compatability.

The difference between 720p and 1080p at normal viewing distances starts to show up in the 50 in + sizes. Below 50 the average person won't notice. Above 60 you definately want the 1080p.
Either 720p or 1080p will be better for sports than 1080i.
