1080P HD BOX & 1080i TV

Would a 1080P HD box be compatible with a 1080I TV?

    Im not sure what you mean by HD box? But sure, nearly all will output at 1080i (or 720P) if required

    Of course, when you're doing that the blu ray player isn't transmitting a 1080p picture.

    OP, be careful what you expect. If you think a box that CAN output 1080p will display 1080p on a tv that doesn't support it, you'd be mistaken.

    Try to send 1080p through a 1080i (well, 720p) tv and you'll get a blank screen.

    The boxes can output lower resolutions though, which will be supported by your tv including 1080i.

    Thanks! That is the answer to the question I meant to ask!:doh:
