It was really simple, 480p for NTSC upconversion and 1080i for the higher def programming.
I assume you are aware there are a number of significant shortcomings to using Interlace as opposed to progressive scanning.

NTSC is not progressive it is interlace to address 1930's vintage technology.

 I am well aware of the benefits of progressive over interlacing. I was merely stating when things got hairy on the ATSC.

There were other agendas in play other than the progressive stuff, sub-channeling rights, cost of conversions, bandwidth issues, technical issues with 8VSB.

It's a miracle the thing got off the ground at all.

In all, technology advances overcame most of the political agendas. It has become extremely flexible in some areas and has left alot to creativity. We won't recognize it 20 years from now from what we have today.
