2 fields = 1 frame. Fields are each "half" of an interlaced image. So<br>1080i60=1080p30.<br>124,416,000 / 2 =62208000. Again, a single frame of 1080i is not any<br>more pixels per frame than a 1080p frame. And stop throw in pixels/sec

Your vision doesn't only care about static numbers of pixels unless you're looking at a still image, and since this is a MythTV list I'm gonna assume that's not what people here are interested in. The resolution of video as we perceive it is determined by a combination of static resolution and frame/field rate,
i.e. pixels per second. To claim that 1080i has the same resolution as 1080p is misleading - it implies that they are equal in terms of perceived quality when they are not (with the caveat I mentioned earlier about source material).
