Nety:fatjulio: I'm glad they've changed. I enjoy the higher res. All the TV programs that are made in HD aren't interlaced, they're progressive. All it takes is the display to deinterlace it properly and you have full res 1080p.
TechnoGuy001 - the reason you're seeing blurry titles on the laptop could be it's not deinterlacing the image properly. Depends on what program you're using to view it with, though I don't know which ones are good or bad.
I've had a TV3 HD broadcast of Die Hard 4.0 playing on my 1080p projector on a 100 inch screen, it was crisp.
I'm sorry but IMHO this is just not correct. It does not matter how good a job of deinterlacing your TV does it will never look anywhere near as good as 1080p. Saying that is a similar argument to trying to say that unscaled DVD looks a good as blu ray. Your TV is having to "guess" what information is in each of the missing lines and although a good deinterlacer can get better results it is still receiving almost the same amount of information as 720p.
There is a good article here on the 720p vers 1080i debate.

You're talking about if the source material is interlaced, not progressive. That only really happens with sport. HD tv programs are shot on film or digitally 1080p24, which are progressive. They are put into a 1080i format by inserting the whole frame into the 2 fields, which are recovered when deinterlacing to reassemble just the way they were, a full resolution 1080p frame.
You can do the same with a Blu ray player. Set the output to 1080i instead of 1080p and the display will reinterlace it to 1080p, no loss of resolution.
