Just wondering, why does the Tablo transcode 1080i TV signal to 1080p. (or rather, why is there not a 1080i option?) To me it adds additional bandwidth and disk space with no resolution gain. Any rationale behind this?
Likely for compatibility with most players, some probably do not deinterlace 1080i content well. But hopefully you get a technical answer.
Thanks for the response. I thought of that as a reason too and if that is the case then maybe it could be considered to be added to the current list of choices with a note like they have for one of the 720p settings (i.e something along the line of - ‘not all not all players support this format’) Maybe it is because the 1080i is @ 60 Hz where the 1080p is @ 30 Hz, then I don’t expect there to be much of a saving.
all problems like this would vanish is tablo added a pass through hdmi connection so at least the main TV in the living room could have unmolested hd.

Tablo has made it pretty clear they have no plans for adding an HDMI output.
