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.
No offence but its 2011.................... People have had HD and SD from the same source for 10years or so.

WE KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD BE EXPECTING. The problem with some internet forums is they dont progress with the times. They still think the average consumer does not understand there tech.

THEY DO...ITS 2011 Even my 10 year old daughter wants Disney channel in HD lol.
