Cable companies consider HD to be 720p. They don’t have the bandwidth for anything higher. Some cable companies are going the IP route for 4K content.
Dish uses 1440x1080 and upscales it to 1080 at the receiver. DirecTV sends it out in 1920x1080, but it’s still interlaced (1080i).

Directv sends everything out in native. If a channel is in 720p, that is what the DirecTV signal is. If the channel is 1080i, DirecTV sends it in 1080i.

Because it is. 720p is a better picture than 1080i
once you get over 720p, the only way the human eye will notice is large screens.
Which goes even more for 4K (which is really just 2160p)
