Tyler,

   What do you mean by a general lack of 1080?

   I have a cheap LCD TV, an Irico 32", and it does 1920x1080 pixels for everything except my laptop.  

   When I got it, I plugged in the COAX cable from my Roger's box, and I got 480p on all channels.  One day, I connected the Terk antenna for my radio, to it, and I discovered that CBC is 720p, and channels 19 and 57 are 1080i.  The correct way to connect a Roger's box to an LCD TV is YPbPr.  This is a batch of RCA cables.  Then, you have to search through the channels for the high resolution stuff.  The lower channels still are 480p.  For example, channel 17 at Roger's 61 is 480p.  Channel 17 at Roger's 525 is 1080i.
