VU+ Solo only supports up to 1080i resolution. Should I get a different receiver?

**wabbitsquash** · Sep 24th 2012

Hi guys,

I bought a VU+ solo two week ago. Unfortunately, I did not pay much attention to its spec when buying it, and only discovered yesterday that it only supports up to 1080i resolution.

I had an old TV which only supported 720p. After I bought the VU+ solo, I bought a Full HD TV last week to enjoy the full 1080p experience. I was changing the settings yesterday on solo to get a 1080p picture and discovered that it only goes up to 1080i.

Could someone be kind enough to tell me whether there would be significant difference between a 1080i and 1080p picture?

Also, can someone please recommend a Full HD receiver?

Thank you.

No channel is currently broadcast in 1080p anyway, unless this has changed recently.

Amiko Alien 2 supports 1080p - available from our sponsor - there are others but that is the first that springs to mind, but as Banny says, you will struggle to find 1080p content because of the amount of bandwith it needs.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I will stick to VU+ solo for now :)

Your better off. The debate as to if it is better to 1080i content in 1080p was one that went on for ages and even now, I think you may well get a different answer depending on who you ask.
