RE: Help needed with progressive scan :)

I was under the impression that its not really a case of the TV supporting it or not. Progressive scan is just de-interlacing the video feed. Its more a case of wether it can accept it, and through the Component it can.

Progressive scan does exsist in pal as Arcam has released the FMJ DV27 however it is not legal yet. Dont quote me but i think it has something to do with macrovision.

So to answer my own question: in their present sate the DVD players would only output progressive scan if region 1 software was used. However with readily availble firmware upgrades, it will be possible to use region 2 software.

Help needed with progressive scan :)

am thinking about buying a new dvd player either a Denon 2800 or the arcam DV 88( upgraded to progressive scan ). The television it will be used on is a Toshiba 36ZP18P, this has component inputs, therefore i will in theory be able to utilise progressive scan dvds.

My problem is this ( bearing in mind i live in the UK (region 2)) i need to know wether progressive scan is only available on region 1 discs.

Thank you in advance to anyone spending their time in helping me :)
