this Q is covered in the longer-form interview, but in short, here's what I've seen and heard from audience feedback:

-If it's a UHD TV, and has an ATSC1 tuner, it seems everything we test or encounter will decode HEVC pictures, up to 2160p, at up to 30 FPS

-If it's a 1080 only TV, but has usb/sd/mmc card support, and made after 2020, it's likely that it'll decode HEVC up to 1080p30

-If it's a 1080 but made between 2013 and 2020ish, and has usb/mmc/sd/etc, it's likely it'll at least decode AVC up to 1080p60

If someone is using a USB or network tuner, and decoding on something like a computer, laptop, tablet, etc. with software like the VideoLAN CLient (VLC), the "Channels" app (for hdhomerun units), or ffplay/etc. then it's totally likely everything will work up to the limits of their system. That seems to be 2160p30 at least, today, but likely p60 if they've got a semi-recent GPU or fast enough cpu to decode & push frames around to their display.
