QUOTE(SiriuslyCold @ Aug 25 2009, 02:32 AM) have you seen Astro on a Philips Pixel Plus TV? ever hear of the word "interpolation"? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Pixel Plus interpolates the broadcast signal to increase the picture size by one third, from 625 lines to 833 lines. It also doubles the horizontal resolution, although each horizontal line is analogue.
Other features include motion interpolation, a processing technique that interpolates (or creates) video fields (or frames) by analyzing fields (or frames) before and after the insertion point. This process is primarly focused on film based comtent which is filmed in either 24fps or 25fps. The motion interpolation function of Pixel Plus is an alternative to 3:2 pulldown processing with is the standard process of converting film to video. Interpolates = scalling. Astro signal is 320x240 if not mistaken. U plug into FullHD LCD / plasma TV, the TV will have to "interpolate" or "scale" the image to 1920x1080 as LCD / plasma is fixed resolution display tech unlike CRT. Imagine how many times U are "zooming" in on the image.
