This video is in 1080p24 and should show up on your guide soon if it hasn't yet ..
Sorry to report but with native on, both HR20-700's on our 2 displayes don't play the HULK demo.
Both res. lights light up but no picture.
I have a PS3 hooked up to the 42" Phillips and it works great, info says 1080P when a blu-ray is played.
The 46" Vizio has a new costo sony blu-ray player connected and it also displays 1080p when playing blu-ray.
No go with this HULK demo.
Seems like D* demo has some problems.

Here is how I found it:
Tune to channel 1100.
Highlight & select High-Def.
Scroll down the list of films a pretty good ways.Films are listed alphabetically.
The title for the 1080p Hulk trailer begins with a "T".It also has the 1080p icon listed beside the title.

When I first looked for the title a few hours ago,it wasn't listed for us.
It may take some time for your guides/listings to update.

Are we supposed to be seeing the whole movie or just the preview? I am assuming just the preview, which uses The in the title and the movie is hidding there.. I found it by doing a keyword search for 1080p

Pleasantly surprised at the PQ.

Unfortunately, thanks to the 24 hour rule, I won't be buying any 1080p PPV.

Same problem with my JVC 37x688, both lights light up, but no picture. I had to force going into 1080p by hitting {info} This TV does do 1080p although this is the first time I've tested it personally.

Why the "H" wouldn't DIRECTV mention the "24Hz requirement" within the movie description? Could save them a lot of calls. I can see many people with 1080P sets upset when it doesn't play in 1080P.
Because EVERY 1080p movie D has is 24hz.

FWIW it plays beautifully in 1080p/24 on my Panasonic TH-42PX80U, the pannel cant display 1080p but it dowresed the 1080p from the HR22 nicely

I thought all new Panny 8xx plasmas do "24p"?

BTW, I don't think the the word "downrez" is proper, there is no resolution loss from 1080p/24 to 1080i/60 to 1080p/60.

His use of downrez is proper. The th42px80u is a 720p plasma. So, the 1080p output from D* was downrezzed by his display.

And not all of the current Panny plasma's do cinema 1080p/24. Some do actual 24fps, others support it via 3:2 pulldown.

It played flawlessly on my LN52A650 and sounded great on my AVR, no lip sync issues either. My Samsung displayed it as 1080/24 as it began. Looked as good as Blu-ray to me... Thanks D

We have two displays fed from our HR20-700, through an HDMI switch. The Samsung DLP supports 1080Px24/1080Px60, but the Dell only supports 1080Px60.

The HR20-700 detects the 1080Px24 support of the Samsung DLP, and outputs the video accordingly. So, the picture looks great on the Samsung but the other display just has a message indicating it can only support 1080Px60.

Is DirecTv supporting only 1080Px24 or would it provide 1080Px60 if that was all the display supported?

If yes, is the HR20-700 (or any of the other relevant models) in control of whether it outputs 24 vs 60, or is that determined by the source material (e.g., the Hulk trailer for exampe)?

Thank you

You are right, missed that detail entirely.

If the TV passes the 1080p/24 test, all 1080p/24 shows will automatically play in their native 1080p/24 format, if the test fails, the receiver will convert the 1080p/24 format to whatever the output format in default, i.e. one of the 480p, 720p or 1080i.

In your Dell case assume your default HR20 output is set at 1080i, the end result is 1080p/60, after your TV converts the 1080i/60 from the receiver into its own 1080p native display format.
