1080p is a standard amount of lines verticle and horizontal. If it says its 1080p then its 1080p unless you think Microsoft is lying about it. Otherwise they couldn't legally say that and not have someone sew them. If you use a satelite dish or even blu-ray player they are compressed/decompressed in order to get you the picture quality you need for full 1080p.

Yes I have a full 1080p tv setup 57 inch 1080p JVC. I know the difference... I sold my ps3 a ehile back so I can't make a direct comparison though.

Even a DVD can be "upscaled" to a "1080p". Doesn't mean it's gonna be native 1080p. Question: will these video downloads come close to bluray quality? Answer: Not a chance. 

 

If your connection says it allows for 1080p through the service, it will not need to be upscaled.  Meaning it is a native 1080p source.

Ok but compared to a bluray it will be heavily compressed and lower quality. So whatever, if if floats your boat enjoy it. For me it's a terrible option to first: buy a propritary 60 gig HDD for $100, then pay $50 per year for XBL then another $6 per movie when netfix ships me higher quality blurays anyway.
