TiVo states 1080p support. Does that mean it can upconvert to 1080p?
No. The TiVo Premiere cannot upconvert 720p and 1080i signals to 1080p60. The 1080p support is limited to the native output of 1080p24 and 1080p30 content, as on DirecTV and Dish Network DVRs.
The first beneficiary of this 1080p output capability is Amazon, which already encodes all of its high-definition VOD content in 1080p24 @ 5 Mbps. Those with compatible TVs will see 1080p output on Amazon HD.
Full 1080p24 output is also useful for playback of most 1080p computer video files, such as Blu-ray backups.
