Humax 1010s Upscaling?
When I set up my new Freesat box today, I was slightly disappointed to see that the SD quality of the channels did not improve that much compared to my old Sky box. Is there a way that I can set the upscaling on (or off to let the TV upscale). I also wanted to ask if the twin tuner satellite cables had to be entered in any specific way because I randomly plugged them both in.

I don't see why you expected a Freesat box to upscale better than a Sky box?, all upscaling does is make it fill the screen - it doesn't 'magically' create HD from an SD source. |

Up scaling (if necessary) is controlled by the output resolution you choose (I think you get 1080i by default).
1080p looks very good on my TV especially on HD channels |

Any upscalling of SD content is going to be dependant on what and how source material is broadcast.
If it's poor quality to begin with or they broadcast at a rather compressed rate then no amount of upscalling will make it look any better, it's only going to help to not make it look any worse on a large screen. |

Of course it's go b all to do with whether the boxes happen to be Freesat of Sky. |
