This means you tv will do the upscaling for the SD/HD channels when using a 4k tv.

It does cause most tvs to blank out for a brief time while switching formats - but I can excuse that as my tv upscales must better then the V6.
Surprised more people haven't commented on this. Because there are lot of posts around where people have previously moaned about the fact that you could not do what you've described. It's been a long time since you could do that on a virgin box.

After receiving the latest update last night I tried it on my V6 and it works now. I can't decide what upscales better though my Sony XD93 or the V6 box, I actually think the V6 does a better job than some people think. Maybe it is just more about what you've gotten used too though. For now I've kept it to the V6 upscaling.
