Perhaps I have a particularly good signal, but I use an external roof aerial and then a Maplin splitter, my exact model seems to have been discontinued and succeeded by this model Nikkai HQ Aerial Amplifier with Digital Bypass 8 Way | Maplin and so I get good Freewiew signal strength and quality in all my rooms.

I can't agree with some of the comments that have been made about Standard Definition material looking poor on larger televisions. I should say right away that I have no experience of 4K televisions, so I speak as a Full HD man only. I'd like to contribute more generally to the upscaling discussion. Obviously the more higher end TV you buy, the better other aspects of the picture will be and TVs like the Sony ZD9 are said to do best in class upscaling of SD material compared to others. The problem is, about 99% of people buying UHD TVs fit into beneath the first point, they still watch SD TV channels and like to use the ITV player in SD and that will look nothing short of abysmal on an UHD TV. If you are starting to having UHD sources and maybe still some FHD ones from time to time an UHD tv makes sense. If you have 95% FHD Blu Rays theres little point. If you are a 95% DVD user then there is very little point going UHD anyway. Nontheless, it all comes down to what you use the TV for.

I bet that does a decent job compared to a lot of TVs and it will be interesting what kind of picture that would produce with those TV channels. Something thats interesting is the new OPPO UHD Blu-Ray player, it has a HDMI input for upscaling to UHD. In an ideal world you would have a tuner that only outputs the matching source resolution to let your TV do the processing. You would think that the PVRs would do a good job upscaling, but much like AV receivers, they don't. I don't think UHD TVs make a good job of SD at all, but broadcast and compressed streams look awful upscaled to UHD, especially when its handled incorrectly by the source. When they show an SD channel they are then resposible for upscaling to UHD, not the TV. Most PVRs, including Sky I think, stick with a fixed output and upscale themselves.
