You need to talk to your cable provider about this and don't be surprised it you need both another tier of service and one of their proprietary boxes to accomplish this.

But remember, your TV already has an upscaler built into it. It already takes whatever format signal comes into it and upscales it into it's native format.

IOW, You're betting that this unit is better than than the one built into the TV. Good luck, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high.

As for this quote from their blurb, "The result will be a HD digital picture of great quality.", well, take it with an entire carton of salt.
