Can somebody please tell me the difference between 1080p and 1080I the reason I ask is that my tv states its 1080p but my sky hd box only gives me the option of 1080i so not sure if its ok to select 1080i from the sky box.

1080i is fine. Go for it.

How 1080i and 1080p Are Both The Same and Different1080i and 1080p are both High Definition display formats for HDTVs. 1080i and 1080p signals actually contain the same information. Both 1080i and 1080p represent a 1920x1080 pixel resolution (1,920 pixels across the screen by 1,080 pixels down the screen). The difference between 1080i and 1080p is in the way the signal is sent from a source component or displayed on an HDTV screen.In 1080i each frame of video is sent or displayed in alternative fields. The fields in 1080i are composed of 540 rows of pixels or lines of pixels running from the top to the bottom of the screen, with the odd fields displayed first and the even fields displayed second. Together, both fields create a full frame, made up of all 1,080 pixel rows or lines, every 30th of a second.In 1080p, each frame of video is sent or displayed progressively. This means that both the odd and even fields (all 1,080 pixel rows or pixel lines) that make up the full frame are displayed together. This results in a smoother looking image, with less motion artifacts and jagged edges.

I is inferior to p, thats all you need to know 

[feeutfo]

I is enough. P is just showing off.

[Marks DTM Calib]

I is enough. P is just showing off.

I is HD ish, P is true HD as per blue ray 

Effectively I is used for transmission purposes as it uses less bandwidth but with a less than HD image

Tv should pick up the difference on changing inputs etc IME.

So i leave it on P. < AAAAHAHAAA did you see what "i" did there?

[Marks DTM Calib]

As you should......it will downgrade automaticaly as required
