Good stuff, though it does raise other questions (which I'm not going to go into now).

I see where you are coming from, but am assured that this upsampling battle has been fought and the 621 won!
That's very nice to know for HD621 owners! Of course, using the HD621 as the upsampler/apodizer for anything other than HDMI from Blu-Ray (or other video sources) would probably be sub-optimal. If you have a coax or optical output, feed it straight to the 861v6.
