You're right about 1080i vs 1080p, and some channels do 720p and upscale to 1080. Fox for sure does, you can tell in the football broadcasts. Even OTA Fox44 looks like garbage.

I'm not a video specialist but I've been around our head end guys enough to pick up on some of that stuff.

Yea, Fox44 is awful. Shouldn’t even qualify as HD

If you are seeing any upscale on Fox that is your local station only. All Fox broadcasts are 720p.

I have a local ABC station that does something similar. They think people want 1080i so they convert ABC's native 720p to 1080i before sending OTA and it doesn't look good.
