This is an technicial query ..and required some assistance from all tech wizards.

I hve heard that if we have an HDMI amp or Home theartre HTIB ( HDMI IN /OUT ) can we connect SD ( cable connections) to HDMI IN and connect HDMI out to LCD TV and get HD viewing ..? Is it possible ..??

Its learnt that the HDMI amp or HTIB upscales or filters and gives good Picture quality view..?? Is it workable...??

Please advisee............

Yes, It can be done. You connect SD source with HDMI port to HDMI in and ur SD signal can be upscaled to HD and fed to ur disply thru HDMI out.Though all receivers don't have such feature, u need to check individulal model for this facilities. Some AVR also offer component->HDMI upconversion.
 
You have 2 options.

1.If tv does good scaling,connect SD to LCD via HDMI & let tv handle everything.

2.Get AVR which scales,then SD> AVR> TV with HDMI connection.

3.If you have HDMI DVDp/WD ,play from it which will do upscaling...

W550 will do better upscaling than many other LCDs today.Only problem analoge(cable)tv is basically poor & may look dull.If you try to get any DTH,it will look better.

WD is this-
WD TV HD Media Player ( WDAVN00 )
WD can play practically most of the AV files stored on pendrive/ext harddisc...
with 1080p scaling.

DVDp can be pioneer610 ,which does better scaling than other budget DVDp.
