I don't know about australia, but for the united states the OTA broadcasts in my area are 1080p. The tv shows are at most recorded in 4k, but most are 1080p.

Why buy an expensive 8k tv, and then have virtually no content to play on it?

Yeah exactly, same situation in Australia with OTA

I understand there's some issue with radio frequencies and they think it's better to have like 10 channels playing garbage at 720p rather than 1 channel at 4k but even on https://www.9now.com.au/ the quality is garbage AND the player is awful as well, I just don't understand how we're like 20 years into video streaming and the regular players still suck so bad at it
