Dish Network to bring 1080p HD Broadcast!

No longer will you have to remain comcastic with Comcast’s monopolized cable service as the Dish Network is bringing you 1080p HD Broadcast.

Satellite TV provider DISH Network today became the first known TV broadcaster to put out video in a full 1080p (1920×1080 progressive) resolution. Starting with an August 1st Video On Demand option for the movie I Am Legend, DISH says it will start offering 1080p whenever the content is available rather than the lower-resolution 1080i (interlaced) or 720p HD normally aired on DISH and other TV services. Using VOD effectively gives the image quality of Blu-ray but at a lower price than renting a disc, the satellite firm claims.
