Guys, quick tech question. On the MS site there are basically 2 downloads per clip. One is 720p the other is obviously 1080p. As my TV doesn't work in 1080p I presume I'm doing right by downloading the 720p clip and playing that.

Correct me if I'm wrong and should download the 1080p clip but I have a feeling it won't play.

yes thats the right one, on anything less than a 42" screen you can't really tell the difference between a 720p and 1080p anyway.
