RE: compared to what?

I'm in Australia which certainly makes some differences (PAL instead of NTSC) but it also means I'm not familiar with things like the Tivo boxes which we don't have. We've got cable and off air digital broadcasts but Tivo doesn't sell any of its products here, at least yet.

So, pardon my stupidity but does your Tivo box have the ability to upscale and are you upscaling there or sending a standard def signal to the display? Whichever way you're doing it at the Tivo, change it to the other if you have that option and see which works better. You will get an improvement if the device that does the upscaling after the change has a better upscaling chip than the one doing it beforehand. If the signal is passing through a receiver and it has upscaling options you can try that also.

Stretching the picture doesn't help and I'd simply give that up unless you're worried about plasma burn in.
