OTA signals and upscaling those? This is what I am talking about. My tv is an almost 4 year old Sony FD trinitron model KV 30hs420. 1080i is its native res. so 1080i would be the best I could get, and what is broadcast in 1080i looks superb. So I guess my question would be, will a 480p res 4:3 ratio, upconverted to 1080i res also be upconverted to a 16:9 ratio and would the picture be as brilliant. Most of this is still pretty unfamiliar to me,with that said I want what I thought I paid for whether it was $3.00 or $3,000 and I am sure I am not alone .
Hope to gain a wealth of knowledge and maybe use it.

Not sure, but I was just speaking with my cable provider I can hook up component out for video and optical out for audio. question is will my audio be anywhere close to what it is thru hdmi. Just to say I have done this and now every now and again I lose video signal and have an infinite number of little tiles on screen. I think it is unlikely but could be that with the broadcasters are playing around with the signal before the change from analog to digital.

I would agree, the issue you are having with the blocking etc, would most likely be due to the signal getting lost, too compressed etc, but not necessarily related to the upcoming signal switch over.

So I guess my question would be, will a 480p res 4:3 ratio, upconverted to 1080i res also be upconverted to a 16:9 ratio Not unless your TV specifically supports a feature that stretches out the image to 16:9. I would imagine that this would further degrade the image. Ahhh, you have a CRT tv. That explains the 1080i resolution.

I think I understand your question now. You want a 4:3 picture to be upscaled to 1080i and then stretched (change in aspect ratio) to 16:9. The 606 should be upscaling fine, but I'm not sure if it is capable of changing the aspect ratio of a HD picture. Your TV is not capable of changing a HD aspect ratio though: http://reviews.cnet.com/direct-view-tvs-crt/sony-kv-30hs420/4505-6481_7-30895537.html

My Toshiba 46H84 46" Projection is 1080i native. Certainly works best when I set the upscaling on my input devices to max out at this point.

I would imagine that this would further degrade the image. Ahhh, you have a CRT tv. That explains the 1080i resolution. If it does not change the aspect, should it at least stay 4:3 and should the image to be as pristine as a normal HD Cable program, (for this tv it looks pretty phenomenal) and they are in16:9.

So would one think that a signal amplifier or boost, if there is such a thing, would help or is this something that would have to be done by the cable or even the broadcaster.
