| I am watching Gangs of New York as well. I love how BBC America is 1080, and not 720. You can def tell the difference between the two. |

We knew it would be. As that poster said here a few months ago, Verizon is not putting any mainstream channel on MPEG-4 yet. They dug their own grave with the old boxes. |

Aren't they calling it HEVC now? |

H.264 was also known as AVC. H.xxx is the ITU-T name and AVC, HEVC, etc. is the MPEG name. It's just like IEEE 1394\Firewire\iLink |

| I was referring to that it was 1080i, compared to 720, as a HD channel. 1080 being a better picture quality picture than 720, and 1080. As icemannyr1 correctly thought.
But also, it is def a better quality between SD and HD. As johnf2 said. |
