How come freeview is spot on? Doesnt the TV upscale that signal?

Playing both DVD's in 576I and 576P its great as is freeview.

Is there anyway I can improve the picture?
Hello everyone! I found this forum by running a search because I have exactly the same problem that is described here! My in-built free-view tuner produces clear and unblemished images for all channels on my Samsung 32" LCD, and does the same for DVD's. However, with the TVDrive connected via HDMI cable and optical audio, the picture quality is pants! It's blocky when you go closer to it and even BBC's HD Demo channel has variable results. The nature bits are clear and crisp but some of the other demo bits can be less impressive and a little blocky.

Obviously, the screen is quite capable as demonstrated by the free-view signal, but does anyone know what is going on with the Telewest signal?
