Zspradlin, I doubt if any scaler will help. I have a 50" panasonic plasma and bought ad dvdo hd+ hoping it would improve the standard digital directtv broadcast. If I sent the signal out of the samsung satellite receiver in "native" and let the dvdo do the processing the picture is worse than simply utilizing the Samsung. On dvd's I notice no improvement letting the dvdo do the converting rather than my Pioneer Elite. The only benefit the dvdo provides me, albeit an expensive one, is to eliminate the black bars on top & bottom of most dvd's and left & right on digital ota channels. The picture can be "sized." This eliminates any possible burn in on the plasma as the black bars are gone. Hope this helps.
video scaler/doubler question
I know very little about video and have what may be a really dumb question. We recently bought a bought a Samsung 42" rear projector tv. I was wondering if there is anything I can use to enhance the video quality on standard Directv signals. The tv does not have a VGA input and I was also wondering if buying something like a DVDO and then a cable that converts VGA to component video would work. Would the VGA to component video cable kinda cancel out everything that a scaler/doubler might do??
