HDTVs upscale the input from a SD DVD player (or any other input) to the TV's native resolution. People are being sold upscaling DVD players when they often don't need them. Forget that, it's a poor man's solution anyway. What is interesting is that there isn't as much acrimony over the terrible HD-DVD players as there should be. Has (for instance) Toshiba EVER made a component that actually worked right?? Do the people avidly (are there any?) seeking HD-DVDs like dropped frames, and juddery movement when watching movies? They're trying to sell high definition to people who watch things on iPods, and that is about as awful a prognosis for the well-being of high def as there can be.
