- alexb_ 3y agoThis is literally not true. OTA broadcasts are in HD and look great.
- paxys 3y ago720p is HD in broadcasting terms.
- tracker1 3y agoTru enough. Of course God 720p can look better than bad 1080p (overcompressed stream). And one's vision and distance from the display. In my living room I barely notice the difference between fhd/1080p and qhd/4k on a 65" screen at 10' distance.
- wombat-man 3y agoI just checked. my local ABC and FOX are 720p, but NBC and CBS are 1080i Idk why, but this hasn't really seemed bad to me. Maybe my TV has been upscaling and that's why I don't notice? Reading around it's unclear if they broadcast above 720p anywhere, even over cable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company . Maybe the cable companies upscale? Whatever the case may be, I'd rather have 720p for free than have to pay.
