I was wondering if anybody has a Motorola Hd cable box hooked up to a rec'r with upconversion. Wondering what the picture is like when it is upconverted to 1080p with the newer rec'rs ( such as as Yamaha 1800) or any others.

Tks

If the final signal is going to an HDTV of good quality, I doubt you'd see any difference as the conversion in the TV is typically just as good as in the AVR. Although I haven't looked at the 1800 specifically, I have seen many AVRs of $500-$1500 and have not noticed any difference.

Also realize that many AVRs don't actually change the format of incoming HD signals, only SD ones. The details of this are often outlined deep in the operating manual as to what formats get upconverted, which incoming signals get transcoded, etc.
