When feeding the display 1080i from STB it looks WAY better than the DVD does. So, feeding 1080i is not an issue or something to try to imorove on. By going this route I avoid DAC and ADC which is part of what kills the picture.

There is no native way to feed the display digitally.
Sure, but then taking HD 1080i from your set top box and scaling it to 480p will look better than taking DVD from your dsi DVD player and upscaling it to 1080p.

The scaling in the Pioneer is not too hot, when you get it off you will see what I mean.

When you get your scaler try the following timings when going in vga

Horizontal scan rate 45.113Khz
Horizontal total active 1280
Horizontal front porch 048
Horizontal sync width 112
Horizontal back porch 248
Vertical refresh rate 56.25Hz
Vertical lines 768
Vertical front porch 001
Vertical sync width 003
Vertical back porch 030

pixel clock = 76.15 MHz


Then put up the internal one on/one off test pattern and adjust the size until it snaps in, it will be extremely obvious when it does.
Then compare that to going in HDMI at 720p.

No Darling, I've had it months!
