I don't expect "upscanning" to VGA to get me a much better picture since the yaroze is only driving a TV signal after all! Beware that it's probably not the cheapest approach. I bought this particular box when my living conditions necessitated sharing the same real-estate for my TV viewing as well as my computer use.
