Does BBC HD broadcast in 1080i or 720p?

The BBC HD channel currently transmits programmes using the 1080i standard. High definition is still a developing technology, however, and the two different standards were developed to overcome different technical problems encountered in making and transmitting HD programmes. The BBC HD channel’s commitment to the highest possible quality means that as the technology develops we will choose the standard that delivers the best possible pictures. As all ‘HD Ready’ equipment can handle both standards, this choice will not require any changes in home equipment.
