Funny the guys over at AVS got it. Maybe they just know enough to get it. Guess you don't.

Here's the key that I guess you missed:

"However, I'm not sure how the STB converting the signal to 1080i and passing it through to the TV via HDMI compares to the Faroudja DCDi upscaling a 480i signal from the STB to 1080p via component cables and passing it on to the TV via HDMI"

Like I said, nice attitude for no reason...untracked.

OK, AWHT&E, here's a question for ya: - Ben the Ben 2008-10-21 23:15:01 (106 views)

I usually try to be nice... but scaling 720/1080 content DOWN to 480 so you can scale it up to 1080p - dloftis 2008-10-22 06:57:25 (57 views)

you posted a poorly worded question, and dloftis replied before his morning coffee - Matt Devo 2008-10-23 08:13:49 (28 views)

no point in replying, he's untracked (good)... - Steve Trac, Sec 303 2008-10-23 08:53:48 (15 views)

if your STB is capable of outputting 1080i/p or 720p, I'd assume it's an HD device - dloftis 2008-10-22 18:51:32 (35 views)

it's a question of which video scaler is better to use, given a native source of 480 i/p: - pierreb 2008-10-22 19:51:31 (27 views)

it's quite sad how low the S/N ratio over there and on HTF has gotten. I miss the good ol' days - Matt Devo 2008-10-22 18:58:55 (15 views)

exactly. I don't even bother anymore. - dloftis 2008-10-22 19:33:38 (12 views)

use HDMI, set the STB to output w/o scaling, let the receiver do the rest - Matt Devo 2008-10-22 06:01:21 (25 views)

That isn't a possibility for 2 reasons. No native output from the STB, and no upscaling with HDMI. - Ben the Ben 2008-10-22 17:58:02 (13 views)

then output 1080i from the STB and let the TV convert to 1080p - Matt Devo 2008-10-22 18:57:19 (11 views)

do you really think you're going to notice a difference in sound? Plus how much does a "high - Steve Trac, Sec 303 2008-10-22 05:14:34 (33 views)
