Does anyone know if the Sky HD box upscales the SD channels as well as HD to 720P? The reason I'm asking this is because on my Onkyo amp I can set it to upscale or pass through, but would have to change this setting depending on which source I'm using if the source does or does not upscale itself. I'm guessing that upscaling from the source and then upscaling again through the amp is not recommended even though the quality of the scaler in the amp is far superior to the Sky upscaler.
I also have a Denon 1930 dvd player that upscales itself. Unfortunately if I turn the scaler on that off completely I get a blank screen, so again if I wanted to use the scaler on the amp I would be upscaling twice, once on the dvd player and once on the amp.
Once some quality blu-ray players are released I'm guessing that will no longer be an issue as blu-ray discs don't need upscaling, but the player should have a high quality scaler for dvd playback. I'm thinking in particular of the Denon 2500 BTCI or the Marantz BD player due sometime this year.
Any feedback, experiences or views on scaling are welcome.
