The TV may do the freeview decoding and upscaling in the same chip, which means the upscaling might be different between freeview and external HDMI source.
VM use the Astra satellites for most SD feeds, but HD channels are usually supplied direct to the Super Headend at Langley on an uncompressed fibre feed from the broadcaster.
