(yet another) New HT Creation Thread


I'm looking to gather components for a new HT system, but I'm not looking for top of the line. I can't really justify spending dumptrucks full o' money for watching 1-2 movies a week (if that much). I'm settling for a normal television -- no 16:9, HD, digital, etc. -- so I have two questions regarding the TV picture:

1) One big difference between the Onkyo TX-SR700 and TX-SR600 recievers is composite to S-video upconversion -- well, the site says "Composite to S-Video Conversion" so I'm hoping it's upconversion -- so will the "upconverted" S-video signal from my composite cable connection improve the picture quality?

and

2) I've read that progressive DVD players will have no image improvement on standard televisions. Is this true?

Any help would be appreciated and cost-effective!
