I don't think the TiVo does any internal upscaling no, it just leaves it to the TV. To me it appears it's just being zoomed to the desired resolution as even the SD menus are soft with no defined edges on text.

I watch the repeat of The Wright Stuff on Fiver (erm, Five Star) so there's no HD option unless I record the HD airing on Five earlier. The SD showing on the V+ was sharp, not it's very, very soft.
