I'm not aware of any cable or satellite service that provides 1080p material, 
except with some of their downloadable products, for which you would not need 
a capture solution.

The only sources of 1080p I can think of are Blu-Ray rips or some downloadable 
material.

There is no equivalent to the HD-PVR that will do 1080p that I'm aware of. The 
lack of source material is probably the reason.

The HD-PVR was originally designed for ATSC, which is 1080i at best. I've 
never encountered a 1080p QAM source.

With a good VDPAU de-interlacer I doubt you would notice the difference 
between 1080i and 1080p.
