The resolution out of DirecTV is 1080i which is comparable to many of the HD DVD players. Blu-ray supports 1080P which is a step above 1080i. Someone correct me if I am wrong: 1080i is interlaced which means ever other line is scanned at 1080. Now 1080P is progressive which means that every line is 1080. DirecTV does have a nice picture, especially when compared to cable (at least in my area). Now some TV's are 1080P and have technology that upconverts the 1080i signal to 1080P. It's not quite as good as a full 1080P signal but it is very excellent for sure.

I have the DirecTV HR20 DVR and I am really enjoying it (but not as much as Blu-ray).
