MPEG2 is used in ATSC and QAM TV, while H.264 is used for some European HD broadcast, Blu-ray, and… Apple’s videos.

It took them months to convert their files to 720p. Don’t think they’ll go through the hassle again to have the content 1080p.

Yes, but they may decide to sell full HD?

Apple has no interest whatsoever to boost 1080p performance in ATV. And why should they?!

Apple of course only wants to promote their own itunes content, which is only 720p. There’s really no point for Apple creating a playback capability for content they don’t sell themselves.
