the cable box's
or the AVR's
or an external scaler's
or the display's.

I would very much like my Moto box to output everything in its native source size and let my better video scalers in either the Denon AVR or the TV handle the job of scaling to the TV's native resolution.

I doubt I'm the only one. I *think* that's what he wants to do, but I agree that it was poorly worded. Besides, it's difficult to go f oneself and answer av questions at the same time.

so i've been told.

#2 shouldn't even be an option. - Rubberduckie 2008-10-22 12:53:07 (34 views)

1 gives you the best - Reggie 2008-10-22 10:31:45 (35 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)

Maybe you can't read. - Ben the Ben 2008-10-22 18:00:28 (44 views)

"1.) Motorola 3416 STB set to 1080i" ... "2.) Same STB, but set to 480i" - dloftis 2008-10-22 18:14:45 (36 views)

If you didn't understand, maybe you should ask first before you post garbage like that. - Ben the Ben 2008-10-22 18:15:47 (33 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)

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)

lol - Pat 2008-10-22 11:34:42 (14 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)
