> In Seattle, NBC and CBS are 1080i, FOX and ABC are both 720p.

Whether it varies from region to region depends on the distribution 
method: are HD network programs transmitted in digital or analog?  If 
digital, then chances are I'm simply wrong and ABC is usually 720p.  If 
analog, then the local affiliate does the encoding and can broadcast 
whatever pleases them.

The reason I suspect the encoding happens at the source is that the FOX 
network makes a point of its broadcasts being 720p, even going so far as 
to tout this at commercial breaks.  Of course, it could just be a 
mandate from the network brass.  Who knows.

Cheers,
Kyle
