Not all HDTVs will accept a 1080p signal. That said, most up-converting DVD players give you a choice of output (just because it CAN output 1080p doesn't mean it will ONLY output 1080p) so the answer is PROBABLY.
Since you don't give details of which player and which HDTV I can't give you a better answer.
You should confirm this with the store and buy on (written) agreement you can return if it won't work. Any reputable store should agree,

Keep in mind that these up-converting DVD players are doing some tricks to take standard def DVD's and magnifying the output to mimic 720 or 1080, but it's like magnifying newspapers.
One of the better up-converting DVD players is the "Oppo" line and I think these run about $125.
The Toshiba HD-A3 HD DVD player runs about $200.
Not a lot more money to get true HD. (And these players do up-convert standard DVD's as well).

Yes, maybe, it should. Rumor has it that HD technology will down-convert itself if need be or be backward compatible. I have no personal experience with this issue but what I have come to understand is that if your TV is "i" only then the player will down-convert from "p" to "i". Aw hell, you can always take it back.
