720p is actually better than 1080i because an interlaced format only displays half (540) lines per pass.
Anyway, are there video settings within the card? If there is a "best" setting, select it because the card will upscale 1080i to 1080p.

Yeah... I didnt want to debate the 1080i vs 720P... just wanted to know if the change I am seeing is intentional behavior. This was not the case a month ago.

Converting from 1080i to 720p requires deleting just over 55% of the original data. Whether or not it is "better" is a user preference. Personally, I wouldn't consider 45% of a book better than 100% of that book, even if I read that 45% twice. Nor would I consider 45% of my paycheck better than 100% of my paycheck, even if I received that 45% twice. But to each his own.

Converting from 1080i to 720p would actually be a downscale. Upscaling is usually on an interlaced format or from 480 to 720. Conversion doesn't "delete" data but deinterlaces data.
I didn't write the OP's 720p was a result of a conversion from 1080i. 720p would be a native resolution of the network.
