Ask Engadget HD: What's the best upscaling receiver? {Engadget HD}
Apr 15th 2009 1:43PM This is kind of a dumb question with "upscaling/upconversion" in the need list. These are 2 very different things with a huge impact on what is actually done.
Plus there is no price. If you want great upscaling, then you need a scaler, such as the DVDO. If you just want 1 cable from your AVR to TV, the denon 888 will do that. I dont think you have defined your needs and limits very well. I personally use a pre/pro for video switching to a video scaler for the upscaling. This will get you the best results.

Oct 29th 2008 2:49PM I agree with gr689, this is not killing blu-ray, its just another HD media source. BR has audio AND video quality that cant currently be beaten by anything streaming online. We may see DTS MA streamed online when bandwidth is no issue, but no current content provider will see the benefit in sending a 2GB audio feed with its 4GB video stream. The average joe the plumber doesnt know the difference between PCM, LPCM, lossless, and phono. "Dis here HD videos lookies crystal clear and my 2.1 channel bose makes the 'surround sound' even better". Thats joe the plumber watching in "surround sound"

Feb 20th 2008 10:30AM If betamax's upconverted some previous format to a far superior quality that the format that won could, who wouldnt havent bought it? A good upconverting player is a better choice (cost-wise) than blu-ray or HD DVD for 90% of the population.

Feb 12th 2008 9:50AM If you read the article it says this is for "prosumers", Andy, you are clearly a consumer. Unless you have a DVDO VP50, this would help any system.
Ask Engadget HD: Does cable, satellite, or fiber provide more HD? {Engadget HD}
Feb 6th 2008 2:32PM Why not actually spend some time adding some key information such as; The price per HD channel, bit rates, total streams, a list of all HD channels and who has them. I think this article could have provided much more info than what could have been found on 4 providers web pages, sorry engadget, but you might actually have to work at work.

Jan 23rd 2008 12:46PM Patrick Dahl, since when does the Harmony 880 control the bluetooth wii?
I suggest the 880 for price and functionality. Got it for 75 brand new a year ago (fatwallet nonsense).

Nov 7th 2007 10:08AM Once again a very blu biased article on seemingly good news for the red camp.
