Worse. I would rate that image quality 4 on a scale
of 0-10. It suffers from serious "peaking" (dark an light halos) ,
low resolution in most areas, and extreme loss of detail in low contrast areas (like her nose).
1080i would be worse because they would be unable to increase resolution (since its already horrendously bitrate limited) and the interlace would case
even worse problems.
I have not seen ANY television sources in years, except Blu-ray discs, that were above 5 in picture quality. Most of our cable TV is 2 on a 0-10 scale,
the very best is 4. That includes OTA channels over cable. The local TV stations sometimes reach 5 when transmitting local material of talking heads actually OTA. Much of cable is 0 on a scale of 0-10.
I should add that my Sony LCD TV can produce 9 when fed from my Canon DSLR camera in 1080@29.97p. The difference is stunning.
