Its does have 1080P so if sky a broadcasting in that format I would presume so .

The DRX890 on does 1080i ,

I will look tonight to see if notice much of a difference

No it will not....have checked and in my opinion it looks worse not better...but thats just my opinion.

However Menus look smoother and work better once you get the hang of it.
