Media Center does upscaling?

[Steve Thackery]

I'm thinking of building a Media Center PC, based on Windows 7. I want it
to replace all my existing boxes.

Will Media Center do upscaling of normal DVDs when playing to an HD
television?

I ask because most Blueray players will upscale normal DVDs, and it's a
facility I'd like.

Thanks,

media centre doesn't upscale. I ditched my media pc in favour of a PS3. Best
media centre out there, hook up a tv tuner to it "play tv" and you get an all
singing alladancing mdeia cen tre with blue ray (upscales too). Link to your
PC via TVersity (or just through the normal windows network)
