I have always preferred SD ... Its beautiful and how stuff started...

CRTs are beautiful and in my opinion produce THE NICEST picture......
Gosh yes, especially the old 405 line monochrome versions. Such beautiful beasties. If only they still worked...

Why we should be focussing on scrapping older technologies before the population has had a chance to adapt, I really cannot fathom.
The trouble with linear UHD channels is that they take up a heck of a lot of bandwidth. Probably why there aren't many of them around and no great desire to introduce them. If space is to be released for these bandwidth hungry monsters, it might be time to start the process of removing the SD simulcast channels, if only to free up some space.
