Thanks again for your answers.
So why does everybody state "We are very far away from FULL HD broadcasting (1920x1080p)", "1080i is the European standard" and so on? Sky shows its movies in native 1920x1080p as far as I understand it... So I don't have to deinterlace before editing the files?

Concerning capturing:
I have indeed two ways to capture it (before anyone gets bad thoughts: I have a fully legit Sky subscritption with a viewing card):
The first is a DVB-S2 capture card with a Diablo CAM to capture on PC, the second is my Dreambox DM 800 with a built-in cardreader (no CAM required) and some non-manufacturer image on it. I only need to insert the card in one of those two and I am able to use it on both, but I will not go any further in this, there are enough other forums for this.
