All subjective though, of course. I tried both 720p and 1080i settings from the Tivo: I think the latter is marginally better for HD on my set but the former gives a slightly better SD picture.
On another note, I think Rubicon on BBC4 looked sharper this week on my Freeview recording than it did on my TiVo's  |
I'm just about happy with HD now on Tivo, have checked several HD channels and the picture is just about the same I had with V+ I would say. It is SD which just doesn't show good enough upscaling still. Used to see BBC1 SD looking like near HD quality on V+ for example, not the case on my Tivo.
