If they are HD downloads/rentals from places like Netflix, Itunes etc then you need to check with them to see if they are in 1080p. If they are not currently, there is a much higher chance of them becoming 1080p sooner than TV broadcasts will.
Also keep in mind that streamed or downloaded video sources like netflix and itunes may SAY 1080p, but in reality their compression is so extreme that the visual quality is far closer to SD than 720p or 1080p. You're not going to see any difference in quality from 1080p from those sources, the best way to make those look better is to sit further away
