Sorry, my personal experience is with Sencore TSM.

No, John.  Yet again you fail to read or comprehend.  YOU asserted that KUSI 
was 704x480i native 16x9.  I replied that they are 1280x720p60 native 16x9, 
with material that is upconverted NTSC without any pillarboxing, hence the 
horizontal stretch.
You cannot show me a single posting authored by me today that asserted that 
anybody, anywhere, at any time, has brodcast an ATSC program stream in 
720x480i, in any display format.  I would ask you to go over my postings 
again to prove you are wrong, but like the Fonz, you can never utter the "W" 
word.
Now, if you wish to continue to mischaracterize my statements then "prove" 
I'm wrong, then this conversation is over.
John
