I've been perusing this forum for awhile and searching for one simple thing: a streaming box that will upconvert well. I basically just want to play SD content (from a server) on a distant projector. It's on a 110" diagonal screen, so the upconversion (to 720p) has to be pretty good. I've got 2Hauppage MVPs. They're decent for smaller TVs, but they don't upconvert.

I'm lost in the vast array of choices, and can't find a decent comparison of the upconverting between various options.

Any help appreciated.

Anyone have a digital media receiver that they think does a good upconversion job? I just need a starting point.

HD Digitech HDX 900 is a excellent choice for scaling up to 1920x1080.

Why?

The box is made of high quality components compared to cheap NMTs like Popcorn Hour.

The video filters are excellent.

That's an interesting claim. I noticed both units use the Sigma 8635 chip. Do you have a link that spells out the exact differences between the two that would result in a difference in image quality over HDMI?

They use the same chipset but completely different hardware and design, it's designed in-house by HD Digitech themself.

Only common parts PCH and HDX have is the Syabase middleware and Sigma 8635 chipset.

As you know the chipset is not alone responsible for how the quality of signal will be in the end, the 6 layer PCB is one important factor here.
