To get a decent video scaler you should plan on spending about 1000-2000$ for the video scaler alone.. I'm thinking about getting a scaler my self, but kind of on the fence due to the cost..

I'm thinking about getting the vp30, or their next generation of that product, depending on their time frame, and my finances at the time. What I want is something that will upscale regular cable channels to 1080i depending on what the outcome will be, to bad more content isn't broadcast in 1080i or even 480p…

Yeah - reading that part again, you're right. I'm wrong. Sorry about that. Lapse of reason...

Jack, I had been reading that Surrender thread and was surprised it had gone on as long as it had. There were many undignified posts by people who should know better. This forum isn't supposed to be a place for people to espouse their strong political views and I hope a similar occurrence will be avoided.
I have thought about a scaler for my HT but am pretty satisfied with the performance of my s97 and sim2 ht300e projector. My plan is to buy a hd-dvd when they become available and skip 1080p scaler. I don't want yet another hardware component on my rack.
