? asked in Consumer ElectronicsTVs · 12 months ago

can my 4k tv upscale antenna channels live over the air free antenna channels ??

I ask because if it is upscaled it doesn't look too impressive.  I understand it is upscaled 480p or 720p content maybe 1080i at best.

    It is important to know that upscaling cannot improve resolution.

    Yes, the TV will blow up lower resolution video to fit the 4K screen, the same way your old 1080p or 720p TV did. To get the 4K experience you'll need a 4K source, like a Blu-Ray player, high-spec game system or streaming service, playing 4K content.
