Billy. If you look back over the devolpment of HD, 1080p was a pipe dream only 5 years ago. Now it is commonplace. If you look at modern broadcast cameras they are all capable of 1080p now.
Offers little to no improvement my arse. 1080p is the TRUE High Definition standard. This has always been the case, and now we have the technology to deliver it. Also I don't think you understand just how much bandwidth cable TV has. Especially since now they (HFC networks) are being pushed by PON networks.
Sure it's a lot of acronyms but basically there is a strong push by cable and telcos to get that capacity into the home. This is driving the technology. Delivering 1080p to the home is not difficult at all.
