OTA is limited to MPEG2 encoding. MPEG2 encoding is fairly mature. However, not all stations have the latest technology.
A state of the art encoder system uses statistical multiplexing and multipass encoding. Both of those are options that the station must pay extra for.
I assume that most LA stations have these features. Smaller TV markets probably don't.
Less advertising throughout
