Yes, it should look a lot better than say a week ago. Higher res, blacker backs, better color, more subtle details like skin tone, shininess, etc. more dimensional too
Over the air? Cable? Streaming? Everything?
Why such a secret squirrel?
All forms of video iPad, YouTube, streaming,TV, 5k, everything. It's an experiment I'm running.

But why? Was there a recent technical development that went into effect?
I'm not sure that ATSC 3.0 "NextGen TV" with better compression and support for 4K has gone into effect in my area. But I've lost track. They've been trying to roll it out forever now.
According to A.I.
"The transition to ATSC 3.0, also known as NextGen TV, has been delayed due to various factors, including concerns about costs for cable and satellite providers, DRM (Digital Rights Management) issues, and slow adoption by consumers and the television industry. The FCC has proposed timelines for a nationwide transition, but concerns remain about the readiness of the industry and consumer demand.
Here's a more detailed look at the reasons for the delay:
Cost for Cable and Satellite Providers:
Cable and satellite providers are concerned about the costs of transitioning to ATSC 3.0, particularly regarding the need to re-encode signals to accommodate the different options available in the standard.
DRM Issues:
DRM is a contentious issue, with broadcasters wanting to encrypt over-the-air signals, but this creates consumer inconvenience as only certain devices can decrypt them.
Slow Adoption by the Television Industry:
Many television manufacturers are reserving ATSC 3.0 tuners for high-end models, if at all, which limits consumer access.
FCC Timeline Proposals:
The FCC has proposed timelines for a transition, but there are concerns about the industry's readiness to meet these deadlines.
Consumer Interest and Demand:
Consumers may not be as enthusiastic about ATSC 3.0's interactive capabilities as they are about streaming platforms, which offer similar functionality.
Must-Carry Rules:
Adjustments are needed to accommodate technical differences between ATSC 1.0 and 3.0. "
