I have one of those "obsolete technology" CRT projectors. It does 1080i
and its picture is stunning.  My system has motivated several people
into building their own MythTv boxes.  I would also consider updating
it to a digital panel someday, either LCoS or DLP.  But for now, I have
not seen a DLP or LCD set I'd trade for.

I don't think so.  I don't think it is one of the specified ATSC
standard rates, is it?

I get over half my shows in 1080i here in the S.F. Bay Area.  My PBS,
CBS, and NBC affiliates broadcast in 1080i; while Fox and ABC broadcast
in 720p.
