So what I don't understand is why, for SD, you get Tivo to upscale from 576 to 720 and then get your TV to upscale it again from 720 to 1080?

Every time you upscale, you lose picture quality, so doing just one upscale operation from 576 to 1080 in Tivo should be better.

If you could get Tivo to output 576 for SD, then your TV could upscale from 576 to 1080 and you would only be using one upscaling process.

Then it would come down to which is the best upscaler; your TV or Tivo.

Using an extra upscaling operation doesn't make sense to me, and theoretically should produce worse results.
