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.

I asked about how upscaling was done by the STB/TV on a technical forum and was told that the STB/TV plays no part in upscaling as this is done completely by the broadcaster and it just reproduces the feed it's given.
When I asked if upscaled material used the same HDD space as true HD material when recording, I was told that it actually uses more!
I have read people say on forums that XYZ box is good at upscaling though
