BTW, the FCC is on the verge of approving ATSC 3.0, which is a new digital TV broadcasting standard set to replace the current ATSC 1.0. Among other things, it will bring 4K HDR content.
Or it's capable of doing so but whether the stations invest in the equipment to produce and deliver that content is another question.
ATSC 3.0 is not backwards compatible with ATSC 1.0. The rollout by the stations is voluntary but at some point, they will reorganize the spectrum allocations that stations have, making it unlikely that stations could broadcast both ATSC 1.0 and 3.0 signals.
There are no plans to offer rebates to buy boxes capable of receiving ATSC 3.0, as was done with ATSC 1.0 rollout around 20 years ago.
