    Is the format war about to resurface? Does Toshiba have the Blu-ray killer?

    Shouldnt this talk about the upconverting toshiba be in the SD section? This is the HD section. And we all agree that upconverting a SD DVD is not HD. (I kid because I love)

    Hanson, Are you getting your HD truly over the air, or via cable/satellite? it is not fair to say that Blu-ray HD is the same as the HD on Sat or Cable. The amount of compression I get on my cable HD is very bad. I have no doubt that Toshiba might be able to make a DVD look as good as my HD...

    This is sad but true. I don't know how many times I have heard people say that next Feb all tv will forced by the FCC to be HD.

    Whatever "magic" they digitally pull, they will be guessing about what should be there. In essence, they are digitally enhancing it. I thought most here are apposed to digital enhancement. Also, the extra horsepower to do this magic guessing means more hardware costs. DSP and FPGAs are very...

    I watch a lot of older TV shows on DVD. There is no magic way to make them "High Def". There is absolutely no way to get a "better or equal" picture quality from a 480p source. Except maybe in Marketing land. All of the current BD players upconvert SD DVDs now so what is new about this...
