But now you at least understand why your interlace disc will always display in progressive.

(gosh just thinking about the whole Planet Earth 1080i or 1080p issue brought back some anxiety...I remember when it all went on, I just had to order my copy from the UK amazon! Sigourney Weaver just did not cut it!)

Not compared to Sir David Attenborough

The TV is displaying what signal is being fed into it rather than what it is outputting, which is 1080i.
However the TV will then perform its own processing(deinterlacing etc.) and output 1080p.
