Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but afaik TV signals run at 1080i so your PVR will read as 1080i but your DVD Player will read as 1080p and the only DVD Player I know of that ran as 1080i was the Toshiba HD DVD Player of which I have two.
A question for the techi's.
I have a HD TV capable of 1080p. I have a 1080p capable DVD player and a HDPVR connected via HDMI cables.
I just bought a couple of HDMI cables, no idea what version.
Now, when I connect the DVD player with one of these cables it'll only allow me to get 1080i and not 1080p. If I connect a different brand HDMI cable I can get 1080p. Why?
If I connect the PVR using one of these HDMI cables I get glitching of the picture and the antenna signal strength of the PVR drops. How does the HDMI lead affect the antenna signal strength?
cheers

I think I remember something like HDMI leads with 30asm have extra wires and HDMI leads with 24asm have less, the extra couple of wires has to do with the higher quility transmission and without them the reciving device has to do more to give the better picture.
This is all from memory and may not be totaly accurate.
dear sir, weve done alot of test on hdmi leads cheap ones expensive ones i reckon there is no difference in the reception on a $10.00 one compared to a $100 1. if i was asked to compare 2 blueray players running side by side with the same movie and tv in my experience i wouldnt how to tell which was the least expensive to the most expensive depending on the set up of the unit and length of the cable myself and quite a few people. i know have tried the monster brand compared to say 1 sold on ebay we couldnt really tell the differences .thx hamguy2 nsw
HDMI cables are rated for data bandwidth.
V1.3 cables and above are preferred for 1080p, such as connecting a Blu-Ray HD-DVD player which outputs 1080p.
V1.2 and below are not rated for 1080p and may not work with 1080p but will work ok with 1080i.
V1.4 is intended for 3D, and will of course provide bandwidth for both 1080p and 1080i.
Higher bandwidth cables are also required for long cable runs.
I suspect you have two different bandwidth-rated cables.... one higher than the other.
I wasn't aware that any dvd players could do 1080P I thought they only upscaled to 1080 i , I was under the impression only blu ray players did 1080P.

Yes but he said DVD player not HD DVD player.
