The debate about tivo picture quality has raged on here since launch.

I work in the community and loads of people have sky. On old CRT tv's and boxes under 32" the picture quality is perfect. Last weekend i watched sky on my bird's old man's 50" Sony Bravia. HD channels were perfect but the SD channels were absolutely attrocious. I mean, really awful. I have an LG 42" and with tivo all SD channels are watchable (unless you are a nature documentary buff).

I think the perceived defect with tivo's picture quality is nothing to do with the PVR and more about tv manufactures forcing you to upgrade your set sooner than necessary and sky/vm trying to get higher subs by making customers upgrade to costlier HD packages due to the fact they are deliberately making SD poorer to watch on bigger screens.
