How about a 720p/60 MPEG-2 base layer for ATSC OTA and a 1080p/60 self contained AVC non-ATSC version of it to give to cable companies who have their own non-ATSC non-cable-card-compat boxes? The enhancement layer would be reserved for press releases. ;-) 

It would still give us a route to properly oversampled 720p on 1080p screens.


UHHHHHHH

Why bother?
A good 720P base layer can saturate the resolution capabilities of 99% of all HD capable displays sold to date.
