    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Sankar, Thanks for responding. Between your post and the one's from Alan/Allan, this will be my next purchase. One last question though. In looking at the specs on SI's website, the iScanPro has component in/out. My dvd runs straight to the tv via component already. I am after the iScan for my...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Alan, I agree, we are getting off topic for this category.Bummer, b/c your advice and links are both helpful and very enlightening for a newbie. Hmph, they're also somewhat depressing. I really thought I bought a decent tv, and now feel like it has these things that need to be fixed. This...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Alan, Funny you should mention that. I was on isf's website this AM looking for local calibrators. Looked as Spot's Mitsu amd tweaks threads. Didn't even have a clue there's that much to do to oen of these things. Hell, I don't even know what red push is. Anyways, I know cars inside and out...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Alan, I think with your advice, I'll do the pro. Do you know if onecall has a 30day return policy (or something similar?) Any other tips on a better picture in addition to iScan?? Thanks, MM

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    The cloud in my brain is clearing. Got it: the conversion to 480p is automatic (since the incoming signal is s-video. That clears that up and leaves only the question as to which deinterlacer is better-internal or iScan. Next: 480p or 960i-same thing or is one more preferrable? Next: I...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Alan, Thanks to you to. That you saw a noticeable improvement in picture quality with your Mitsu is encouraging. I took a quick peak over at HT Spot. Read one thread talking about 480i/480p and settings on my set. I may not have my set adjusted/switched to 480p. (if there is such a setting in...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Allan, Sounds like all "hdtv ready" tv's have an internal deinterlacer, just no decoder/tuner for hdtv broadcast. That's were a hd STB comes in w/ satellite. Assuming my tv has an interlacer, the SI unit may not help much. Question: the OSD on the Mitsu shows s-video,STB,480i on the screen...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Allan, Thanks again. I think I'm getting it now. My intent is to get a good progressive scan dvd once there's one out that has what I want and no chroma bug. That unit will not get run through the iScan. What I am after is an improvement in my cable tv signal for daily tv viewing. I reread my...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Allan, Thanks for replying. I was really hoping to find someone with one of these. Shankar (sp?), I know is another who has one. Anyways, Help me. If I understand this right, the SI unit will deinterlace everything sent to it (aka my digital cable box signal) and effectively double my...

    opinions on Silicon Images iScanPro/Plusv2

    Came across this product surfing the web. Best as I can tell it deinterlaces everything one sends to it (cable,vhs,non progressive scan dvd,etc..)Is that really what this does? Seems it may be an alternative to a HDTV satellite system as it would deinterlace all cable channels. Would that give...
