Hi
I have just bought a Panasonic Plasma tv capable of displaying HD transmissions upto 1080p but the 3 HD satellite receivers I've looked into - Technomate 9600, Kathrein and Sky HD only work at 1080i or 780p. Forgive my ignorance but is HD TV only transmitted at these resolutions or can you buy boxes capable of 1080p?
Also - please would someone explain the benefits of Linux based boxes and is the Technomate 9600 Linux based?
Many thanks in advance.
