Comcast had identical Super Bowl broadcasts on two of their channels. One was standard 1080P HD and the other 4K UHD. The 4K picture was a little better but nothing earth shattering. It also appeared that Comcast was broadcasting their "very best" 1080P picture as it was crystal clear sharp, too. Who knows what they do behind the curtains but their regular programming in 1080P is never that sharp.

I probably mentioned it before but the basement 75" TV gets Comcast as well as HD over-the-air via outdoor antenna. With "normal programming" the OTA HD picture is always sharper than Comcast's 1080P HD.
