    Who makes this demodulator? Or at the very least what's the model name so I can look it up.
    The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"......and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

    No it can't do that. It can stretch to 16:9 or zoom, but can't do that.

    I'll see what is there tomorrow, but it's possible it's only for composite/S-video and not component. Oddly, a modded N64 seems to work fine, it's just the SMS and SNES that get no picture at all. It's really the fricking Sony TV, and this was the same one which I tried playing DVD's on the original XBOX and it kept putting these purple lines in it (also over component). The big name in upscaling is the Micomsoft XRGB series, but they cost well over $400. It would make more sense for me to buy a new TV.

    This is what Frankie was referring to. Costs $78 from this site, though could be cheaper elsewhere. I've also seen these things convert to HDMI as well, though it costs more. While it takes in VGA, it's looking for 31kHz aka 480p not 15kHz 240p and will not work. While this may "help" old RF-only or composite signals, I think I'd rather just have the old RF-ers modded to Composite or S-Video.
