Sure, it could but that would mean all the stations upgrading their equipment to put out 1080p when they have just gotten into regulat HD. Not something I see happening any time soon.

What I like about a 1080p set is that it upconverts the signal to 1080p and it futureproofs you for HD DVD and internet downloads if you want to build a HTPC capable of 1080p.
