Looking for a list of which HD format (720p or 1080i) networks transmit in

I did multiple searches for a list like this on this forum, and could not find one.

My cable company's receiver will output either 720p OR 1080i - but does not automatically switch between them...it just converts everything to whichever you choose. According to their tech support folk, however, they just "pass through" signals up to that point.

Hence, I'd quite happy switching manually depending on the source programming...I just can't find a list of those sources! I know NBC, CBS, USA, SyFy, and a few others are 1080i; ESPN, Fox, ABC, History and a few others are 720p - what I'd LIKE is to find a single source for a complete list of all networks.

I don't wish to start yet another "720p vs 1080i" debate, nor to be told "you won't notice the difference" - I just want to find a $#!&# list!

Many thanks!

Add the National Geographic Channel to your 720p list and you pretty much already have the list. Everything else is potentially 1080i. So, what's the point of publishing a list?

Also, ABC does 720p, but the affiliate in Boston, WCVB, chooses to convert it to 1080i. A fact I only became aware of when I finally got a Motorola box, DCX3425, that supports native resolution switching.
