Re: TiVo
Well let ask the question another way, do the SA/Samsung V+ boxes have the chip set to upscale on the box before transmitting to the TV? I believe the answer of that is yes, so what the TV can do is less critical since it will receive an upscaled signal from the box?
But with Tivo, it does seem this is not the case unless anybody who has detailed knowledge of the Tivo specification can confirm otherwise, so it is down to the capability of your TV to do the job your V+ box previously did? I suspect some TVs may not be so good as others on doing this and so the issue some people are seeing and too many IMHO. Big mistake if that is the case since no amount of features will replace a less than acceptable picture and it will take at least 2 or 3 years for VM to build up their HD channel list, which in some cases is down to the channel provider anyway e.g. we enjoy watching Being Human on BBC3 but I don't think it is available on the BBC HD 187 channel (never bothered to check but might have to now!).
