I agree. The difference in the SD picture hit me in the face as soon as the TiVo was first booted up. The SD picture is very soft whereas with the SA V+ is was crisp and some higher bitrate shows on the likes on the BBC almost looked HD in quality. Infact with the V+ some people could hardly tell the difference between SD and HD on my set. I currently have Panasonics flagship 42" plasma so it's not like I've got a cheap, inferior TV.

Even watching downloaded xvids streamed via the PS3 which it upscales to 1080p are so much sharper than the SD on TiVo.

It's the only downside of the box, otherwise it's a great bit of kit.
