Another Dishnetwork FIRST in the industry. They are the first to offer 1080p video on demand but unfortunately not many of the 1080p tvs can actually see it.

what does the 722 say when you run the test. Are you using HDMI cables or component cables?

There are 3 flavors of 1080p - 1080p24, 1080p30 and 1080p60.

Unfortunately, most of the problem is that TV manufacturers have included an incomplete spec for the 1080p on their displays.

Dish happened to use the most logical one for movies, the one that requires the least dish space, bandwidth and horsepower and many 1080p displays are not equipped to handle it.

Evidently, HD DVD and Blu-Ray take the 1080p24 off the DVD and upconvert it to either 1080p30 or 1080p60.

DVD's did the same thing essentially, they were 480i 24fps and utilize 3:2 pulldown to keep the video in sync without looking sped up. The only problem is the frames that run 3 are sped up compared to the frames that run 2X, occasionally causing artifacts.

Movie theaters usually double up the frames and run at 48 fps to avoid flicker.

The benefit of 120 HZ displays is the ability to do 5:5 pulldown, reducing artifacts due to the translation of the 24 fps video.

HD DVD and Blu-Ray players take 1080p24 off the high def disc and play it output it as native 1080p24 or perform a 3:2 pulldown to 1080p60 out. Upconverting DVD players, scalers and video processors can take 480i (from a DVD, etc.) and upconvert it to 1080p60 or 1080p24.

BTW, Dish has other issues. There are plenty of displays that accept 1080p24 that aren't currently recognized as compatible by the vip receivers.
