Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.
We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.
If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.
We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.
Sorry for the issue!

Agree completely with you, probably no 1080p from broadcasters for a long time.
Quote from my own post "There won't be any 1080p content from any of the broadcast providers (OTA, DirecTV etc) in the near future. Even maybe the far future, who knows."

True, but the 1080i and 720p transmissions upconverted to 1080p, by my Mitsubishi HDTV, sure looks more detailed than at 1080i.
digiblur...
D* can't even bring themselves to broadcast in true 1080i yet, so what makes you think they are going to do the 1080p thing?
Jimbo...
Just because a manufacture starts making a 1080p panel, doesn't mean the countries providers are required to change all of thier equipment so they can push 1080p. Local networks are having a hard enough time getting enough money to get on board with HD period.

In theory the 1080i picture should look just about the same on a 1080p display, certainly from a detail point of view (they both have the same resolution). If you are watching a movie shot on film, then if your TV has good deinterlacing and 3:2 (or more correctly, 2:3) pulldown, you will see close to a true 1080p picture, not just 1080i on a 1080p display.
A 720p picture on a 1080p display should look better than on a 1080i display because it does not have to go through the interlacing process.
