If you had read the whole thread, you would have known that I had explained the whole issue already two times, and that this is a very short summary, because I don't want to explain it a THIRD time.That's all I wanted to know, but replies like
are not very helpful and a bit one sided, sorry.
Sigh... There is nothing wrong with the broadcom chipset! DIGITAL = DIGITAL = DIGITAL! SD = SD = SD!
Funny you are using the term upscaling by the way. If your tv has 1920 by 1080 pixels and the original material is SD, it has to be scaled somewhere. If not, you'd have a very small picture... So it's scaled by the broadcaster, in the stb or in the television. What flavour exactly do you call "upscaling" and why would one be better than another, exactly?
You definitely got that wrong. All drivers for broadcom SoC are closed source. And once again, even if the source was available, there would be nothing to "improve" because the driver (= software) is not in between the signal path.DVBAPI drivers are nor closed as far as I understand it and so it should be possible for developers to improve them etc.
