and a broadcast broadcasted at 720p60, the tv will take the image and repeat 2 times.

120hz is so great because both 60 (tv) and 24 (blu-ray) are factors of the number.

both tv and blu-ray are shown in their native forms.
My brother-in-law said it was jerky and just didn't feel right to his eyes. I need to get to his house and watch it first hand though he doesn't have any 1080p24 material.
