If its the pace 810xe like i had they are a discontinued item pace no longer make them and pace will no longer support the receiver thats its what pace tech dept told me,

The 810xe was one of the worse satellite receiver i have ever used thats why it had to go,

Humax HDCI-2000 vs Topfield TF7700

I have tried both above receivers and found:

Topfield TF7700 is the best performer. It does auto switch between 576i and 1080i over HDMI and component and even the SD channels look fantastic when you compare to Humax which upscales everything.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Is there any receiver out there that doesn't upscale?
(Come to think of it, any TV that doesn't simply upscale ?)
