Again HD via over the air broadcast as on NBC almost always has a superior picture compared to standard DVD even with upscaling. The problem in my opinion ( and I suspect Pearsons) is that the average Blueray disc is not superior to a well produced DVD with upscaling. My player is a Samsung 1200 and the TV is a Sony KDS70XBR2. Certain scenes on the Planet Earth series are up to what I suspect is the potential of Blueray but the average Blueray disc is not.

I have the Sammy 1200, and a Sony XBR1. On my system, the Average BD is better than an upscaled DVD, and a good BD *kills* DVDs, better than OTA HD too.

EDIT: How large is your set, and how far is your viewing distance. I've found many who cannot see a difference tend to sit too far away.

And I agree with you: HD broadcasts are better than upscaling DVD.

Blu-ray absolutely kills upscaled DVD in all visible criteria.

And while we're on the subject, what about the audio? Or is upsampling DD better than LPCM?
