Upscaling you usually don't lose a lot of quality, IMHO.  Similar to the old
TV line doublers, you may get a better picture with more resolution even if
you have to interpolate or extrapolate some.

I think 1080i and 1080p scaled down to 720p would be a worse option than
upscaling 720p.  To me, it makes sense to upscale or deinterlace  to 1080p
than downgrade 1080i and 1080p to 720 lines.

But back to mythtv topic,  has anyone tried running myth on a 30inch Dell at
2650x1600?  I bet the quality is incredible when you upscale 1080p video to
1600 lines of resolution... Maybe I will try it over Xmas.
