Apparantly 60% of the Uk households don't have pay tv. Therefore, are unlikely to pay for Sky's HDTV service. It won't be until 2012 when analogue tv has been finally turned off with additional space for HDTV channels, that HDTV will really start to take off. When HDTV is available via freeview, people will be more likely to want high definition pictures.

Yep but one ******* argumentary of the salers would be to buy 720p because 1080p would be too much expensive and so that would be another argumentary for HD-DVD which will display in 720p and 1080i...

I would assume that films will be 1080p @24fps. Tv shows will most likely be either 720p or 1080i. Blu-Ray/HD-DVD players will offer the user the ability to optimise the output depending on their display.
