1. It's not BS 2. It's not Snake Oil 3. It's not HD
Upscaling is great provided... -the source (DVD, Laser Disc or other) is good. Superbit and Criterion are good places to start -the display is 50" or less (the bigger the TV the more obvious it is that the source is SD) -the upscaler isn't some half hearted implementation with Faroudja's cheapest de-interlacer rather well thought out use of Anchor Bay VRS, Silicon Optix HQV or Sigma Designs VXP.
Like I said, it's not HD, but it can make all the old SD content tolerable.
