Is it still the same resolution? 720p/1080i ?


Yes. Just less compression I assume

Correct OTA is the least compressed signal you can get using mpeg2. It's probably 15-20Mbits signal. Cable has to compress it further, probably 10-15Mbits, in order to fit everything in their limited bandwidth since they have so many garbage channels.

Satellite uses mpeg4, so their signals are more efficient compression so they can look similar to OTA at lower bit rates.
