Usually, more than a single source goes into the Edge. In my application, both the PS3 (soon to be Oppo 93) and DirecTV HD-DVR go via HDMI to the Edge. Video is stripped off and goes via HDMI directly to a projector; audio goes via HDMI to an audio-only processor. (Oppo sent me an email assuring that bitstream from the Oppo 93 can be passed by the Edge and sent to downstream components.)

I like to watch old movies on DirecTV, and they appear as if remastered after passing through the Edge to the projector compared what I see on our 46XBR8 without an Edge. Of course, if the picture source is high quality, the picture quality on both the projector and XBR are similarly spectacular.

Oh yeah, sorry about that, I kind of overlooked the SD video upscaling you require when it wouldn't be coming from a disc (like in your future -93). The only TV I watch is OTA 1080i and is of high quality to start with. I 'accidentally' watched some SD TV a couple times and it looks absolutely horrendous on my Pio Elite TV, its built-in upscaling is pretty lousy compared to what I'm used to from the Oppos, or even what I've seen on other HD TVs.
