Yes, the V+ box does upscale very nicely. However, it's only as good as the SD channel in question. If the SD channel is poor quality (I'm looking at you, ESPN America) then the upscaled version will also be poor. If you have an HDTV try comparing ESPN and ESPN HD on the same TV. The HD channel is way better than the upscaled SD channel.
