"VOD" is still used pretty frequently in some contexts to distinguish between live and prerecorded video. It's common parlance on Twitch, for example.

How so? ATSC is MPEG-2 at an absolute maximum of ~18 Mbps - and most broadcasters cut it down much lower than that to add subchannels. It doesn't support 1080p60 video at all, only 1080p30 or 720p60. Youtube routinely uses higher resolutions and bitrates, as well as newer codecs (H.264 at the oldest).
