I'm in the camp that says conversion from 720p to 1080i is not upconversion... I think the benefit of progressive scan offsets 720p's slightly lower number of pixels every 1/60 second, especially after being compressed to 19 Mbps or less. But it's entirely possible that some sets do a bad job of converting 720p to 1080i for display.
ABC botched the start of the August 4th Hall of Fame game and it was not in HD for about fifteen minutes. But at least Al Michaels and John Madden didn't embarrass themselves by announcing that the game was in HDTV and then start joking about hall of famers' bald heads in high definition until the problem was fixed.
