I personally don't think there is an issue with the upscaled at all. Some people are expecting too much from SD broadcasts. Especially watching older tv programmes.

For example if you watch Eastenders on BBC1 and switch to the HD version they don't appear too different as it was shot in HD and downscaled for normal BBC1, where as something like friends which was made in the mid 90's and upscaled on E4 HD will still not look that great if watching on normal E4 as was shot in SD. Then channels that have a lower quality anyway will still not look too good upscaled.

So while the SA V+ was good at upscaling and the Samsung was better than that. I do think that the TiVo looks just as good but it also depends on the source material.

I tend not to watch the SD channels anymore as most shows I watch are available on the HD versions of the 5 main channels, ie 1-5.
