Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
This is probably more relevant for all the 480p supplemental content that many discs carry. It's too bad Sony screwed up so badly with the original 2.40 update. Whoever is running their QA department or triaging bugs needs a slap on the wrist.
It doesn't do anything to 480i/p content as far as I can tell, it is PURELY for deinterlacing 1080i.
It's supposed to upscale content to your screen resolution. So any supplemental features in SD should get upscaled to 720p or 1080p in the process. I haven't personally tried to see if this is the case but its what my understanding is. I think its a fairly minor feature but I've seen at least one person griping about it on a forum before now.
Of course it upscales. a 480 DVD gets bumped to 1080 @ 60hz. Does an OK job too.
We are talking about Blu-ray upscaling, NOT DVD upscaling.
I checked it out, it does not upscale 480 Blu-ray content at all.
Supplemental features in 480i/p!?
Well isn't that funny.
I thought the Blu-ray gang used to spend ages slamming HD DVD for providing some of the extras in SD.
So much for all that extra capacity allowing all the extras to be in high def everytime.
I guess when they only use a 25gb single layer disc (as almost half of Blu-ray releases are) they just don't have the space, eh?
LMAO
I have plenty of 50 gig disks that have 480 content.
Batman Begins, Hellboy, Batman the Movie (Adam West), Men in Black, Justice League: The New Frontier (this one might be 25 come to think of it) being some of the better 50 gig disks that have 480i/p features I'd like to see with upscaling.
It's why I REALLY want them to add upscaling for Blu-ray content (just adding deinterlacing for 1080i isn't really adding 'upscaling' for Blu-ray), cause some of them have content that doesn't necessarily need to be HD (although we'd all prefer it) but DOES need to be upscaled (bonus episodes, music videos, documentaries, etc.)
Truth Teller thats a moronic crybaby comment even by your low standards. The reason that content is in 480p is because that's what it was filmed in originally, not because of space limitations.
Baby, perhaps you think all features and supplementals on virtually all catalog titles are available at 720 or 1080 but you would be wrong. Naturally many new films do feature HD extras but the mass of them don't. You are just compounding your status as village idiot with moronic comments to the contrary. Grow up baby your precious format lost.
Yeah, avoid the point why don't you?
Hilarious.
Your fanboy-ism is as laughable as it is obvious
(and frankly your comments about my 'reputation amongst the PS3/Blu-ray fanboy element also entirely miss the point, I take a pride that those f*ckwit kiddies choke on my views).
You're a bunch of hypocrites, you slammed HD DVD for offering 'extras' in SD when Blu-ray repeatedly does much the same thing.
.....and I'm so glad you keep on wanting to look a tool with your feeble little jibe.
Most amusing (keep on dancing b!tch dance).
The truth is that "your precious format" isn't going anywhere and has also lost
(and you got the shaft on the prices you paid).

LMAO at you, mightily.
(shouldn't you be out annoying the neighbours & bringing the place to a standstill today, with it being the 12th and all?)
Truth Teller, I've had both HD DVD and Blu-ray (and preferred HD DVD), any arguments you are making at this point just sound like fanboy ranting honestly.
I got a new disk today that has some 1080i content on it and THAT isn't even outputting at 1080p, are we sure that feature was added in 2.40/2.41 and wasn't just 'announced' as something to come soon?
Ok, I figured out what it is.
It ONLY does any sort of video upscaling (don't know if its just 1080i, or any resolution) on BDAVs, HOMEMADE Blu-ray's.
