It's pretty atrocious.
Upscaled
HD
Motion trails are also produced when people and objects move on an upscaled picture, which doesn't happen with HD feeds. Although apparently there's some new 'motion blur technology', or whatever it's called, that solves the motion trail problem. Which isn't very useful to those who bought a 42" 1080p HD TV before its invention.
Err - that only happens with rubbish upconverters. Any decent upconverter used by a broadcaster for long-form content should do a pretty good job. Most broadcasters are using Snell Quasar or similar models that do an amazing job at de-interlacing and coping with mixed source content in the same signal. (So don't fall to bits when you have a 50i roller over 25p content)
Sure the SD upscaled content is limited in resolution terms - but most upconverters in use by broadcasters are a LOT better than anything available in domestic kit.

How does an upscaled SD picture compared to a true HD picture on an HD set? I've never seen either on an HD set.
