Is this real 720p (or even 1080i) HDTV? Or is it the compressed crap I keep hearing about?

It depends what you mean by real. Cable and Satellite companies compress their signals, but I would not call them crap. Granted, if you could pick up the OTA signals it would be slightly better, but even a compressed HD signal is far superior to SD. I think 98% of viewers would be hard pressed to spot the difference between compressed and non-compressed HD.

All HDTV signals are comressed.
