I just got a 42inch LCD HTDV and I was looking for ways to make SD non HD content look better. I ran across couple hardware solutions like StartTech VID2VGATV, dvdo iscan and Algoliths device like Mosquito, DragonFly, Flea and Flea HDMI. I also ran across an article (google "Dscaler HDTV" its the top hit at engadget) that uses an open source sofware called Dscaler that will de-interlace and output in 16:9 aspect ratio.

Will DScaler make a difference that is worth setup a pc to run my Satellite input through. Should I save up and money and look at a hardware solution? I would appreciate any input to help me decide on what the best course of action is.

Please just focus responses to how to make NON HD content look better. I have a HDMI DVD player that outputs 1080i and an over the air antenna for my Broadcasted HD content.

You should probably be posting this in the "Video Processors" section, which is listed right under this one.

Thanks, I created a new thread there.
