An SD signal upconverted to HD resolution would read as an HD signal
coming into your TV. The TV has no way of knowing whether the signal was
originally 1080i or was 480i upconverted to 1080i. All it sees is 1080i.

If you really believe that the nightly news isn't an upconverted signal,
why don't you call your local station, ask for the technical engineer,
and ask?
