Might help if you asked this in the dish forum, but AFAIK the 622 only does 1080i

If you have a 1080p HDTV, then it should upconvert a 1080i signal or a 720p signal to a 1080p signal.

Thanks for help

I just subscribed this morning - sorry if wrong forum.
All of your help is much appreciated. This satellite-equipment issue is like shooting at ten moving targets to hit one.
Thanks again

Didn't mean to sound harsh, just meant you would get a faster response if you asked in the dish forum.

Dish Network does not broadcast 1080p programming. Only 1080i or 720p.

That's named DEINTERLACING
or a 720p signal to a 1080p signal.
This will be UPCONVERTING, right

some clarification

There are no TV tuners (sat, cable or OTA) that support 1080p, because there are no 1080p broadcasts(and probably won't be for many years). This is because of the very wide bandwidth required for 1080p. There is a big advantage having a 1080p TV with a 1080i signal. It will produce every pixel of a 1080i signal without having to scale it in either direction, thus producing a sharper picture with fewer artifacts. The reason that newer TVs are 1080p instead of 1080i is that all microdisplay (DLP, LCD, LCOS, Plasma) devices are progressive scan, making it impossible to build a 1080i display. All programs shot on film or 24 frame video will de-interlace to 1080p without any artifacts.
