I'm a little confused. My DirecTV box only goes up to 1080i, then down to 720p. What would be the point of having 1080p movies when their HD boxes can't play them.
You either don't have a compatible receiver (HR20, 21, or 22) or you haven't received the software update yet. While the buttons on the front panel may only go up to 1080i, the software update allows you to select and enable 1080p, assuming you're hooked up via HDMI. My HR21 received the software update several months ago.

I downloaded a test software for my H23 (non-DVR) that enabled 1080p24. When it's in 1080p mode, both the 720p and 1080i lights on the box come on.
