    Upc hd boxes do up to 1080i only. Same as sky. hd channels are only broadcast up to 1080i as far as i know. Only games consoles, pcs and bluray players do 1080p from my experience. If you need a progressive output then your only option is to set the box to 720p. It'd be the same with a sky box as well. It takes to much bandwidth with to little an improvement in picture quality to make broadcast 1080p worthwhile.
    Just to let ya know I've a 1080p tv and have my box set to 1080i. It gives me a slight visual improvement over 720p setting but barely noticeable on a 42inch.
    hope this helps ya.

    Indeed i have to the STB "HDMI resolution" and just 1080i not p, forgot.
    Finally the signal should be progressive to be displayed on the TV panel, they panels - the last component in a TV - accept only progressive as i know. So either TV or the STB should do the deinterlacing to 25fps full frame. The TV - in fact monitor - which i want to buy now, can't deinterlace, it wants the signal already done, that is my problem.
