setting it to 480i/p makes no sense

I guess I still don't get it. And I'm clearly not the only one.

And no - I don't know everything. But it's fair to say I'm fairly knowledgeable on these subjects. Your post was confusing. <shrug>

If you're spending time at avs forums... well, that's your loss. Good luck. Maybe somewhere between the 40,000 bumps and "search the archives!" posts you migth find a real answer... one page 300 of the "Official how to use a pioneer receiver to scale on a tuesday night" thread.

Untrack if you like. I haven't lost anything.

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 (56 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 (14 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 (14 views)

exactly. I don't even bother anymore. - dloftis 2008-10-22 19:33:38 (11 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)
