Unless you've got a TV the size of a wall Ken, you wouldn't notice a difference. 625 lines (circa late 1960s)was the last major improvement in UK TV. Everything since then has been the Emperor's New Clothes, designed to get you to buy a new TV/service !

Bollocks.

If you don’t think HD or UHD has better picture quality (even on a 55" screen), you need to visit Specsavers.

Maybe slightly better, but not a world of difference. Guess it depends whether your TV is a daft size.

In my experience the difference is night and day difference on a high end 49in TV setup properly.

Re: Is Freeview from the Arial broad cast in 4K

Freeview from a sans serif typeface is not 4k

Reading up, it appears that HD is capable of switching between 1080i and 1080p25 depending on the material, though the use of interlacing seems to be a poor compromise when the display device is inevitably not going to be line scanning.

What nonsense. HD was a massive improvement over SD.

Same goes for 4k even on a 49 inch telly. I have vision issues and even I can spot a massive difference.
