liab - been meaning to check all my settings and just haven't gotten to it - but there should be somewhere in the TV settings to use it's scaler to upscale everything to 1080p.

Nope... the HDTV settings have a "shared" option for 1080i/p. I can't find anything anywhere to prefer one over the other. I've done some digging and this is a particular criticism of the Hopper in at least one AV forum I found when comparing the Hopper to other devices. From what they said, if you select programming that is 1080p (available only for certain VOD and PPV offerings... it'll have a "1080p" logo instead of an "HD" logo in the program information), the the Hopper will poll the connected TV (or AVR if in-between) to see if it supports 1080p. If so, it will switch to 1080p for that programming only.
