Just to clarify, Myth does "work" on an HDTV set in that it looks great 
and scales everything up to the proper resolution. However, outside of 
increased picture quality, Myth doesn't do anything extra within HD 
resolutions. For instance, there is no side-by-side PIP (or POP), tv 
browsing outside of the 4:3 window, etc. I would like to see (or work on 
myself) some of these features in the future. But the short answer to 
the question is the quality is scaled very nicely.
