I have watched 1080I shows (and football games) for years that have true Dolby 5.1 surround sound. 720P and 1080I each have about the same basic bit rate (since 720P has about half the resolution but double the frame rate). Actual bit rates and pixellation/macroblocking issues are entirely dependent on the encoding choices made by the program sources and broadcasters, and are not inherently better or worse for either format.
