I can upconvert the movies to 720p/1080i, but the channel still looks better. What are they using to play back these movies?? |

All DVD's are recorded in 480i so even though your DVD player scales them up to a higher resolution there is no additional data like in a true HD signal. I will restate for clarity, no upconverting DVD player will create high definition programming. HD will always be better. Keep in mind new true HD players will be on the market within a month but you will still need to use a new HD disc to get true HD from them as well even though they will play regular DVD's. xvxvxvx |

An HD transfer can be created from any source with enough resolution to be converted to HD. 35mm film, BetaMax tapes of old TV sitcoms, HD tapes. You name it it can be converted to an HD transfer. Eventually it will come to be on a HDD at the networks, but not yet. xvxvxvx |
