The quality of the picture, the information it contains will be less. The 4K signal itself, the rate, the structure, what the decoder inside the television cares about, will be a 4K signal.


The broadcast will transmit a native 4K signal. The signal being received at the television will be a native 4K signal. The image may be a 1080 image which was upscaled to a 4K image but that 4K image will be carried on a native 4K signal.

And yes, most people won’t see the difference between 1080 and 4K and really won’t see the difference when the 1080 image has been enhanced/upscaled to 4K.
