I'm probably about a good hours drive south of the Mooresville area, somewhere on the other side of the towers.
And I think they got you squared away on the broadcast resolutions. Only a BluRay disc offers the full monty for HD viewing. There may be streaming, etc that claim 1080p, but it's typically compromised in bit-depth for PQ and audio. Kinda like increasing the resolution on a lower quality photo, so you can print at a larger size; the source is being upscaled and is not as good as the native cut of the content at the intended resolution. The marketing has jumped on that to put the "1080p" bait lines in front of the consumer because they know that many have settled for overly compressed cable/sat video on HD broadcasts. Kinda like megapixels for a chic-let sized camera lens/sensor combo. The market has accepted lower quality as it's virtually good enough. Another good reason for OTA.
