Yes. We are generally talking about upconverting DVD players, and
having the extra info available with the raw MPEG can help.

Maybe. It absolutely will when it becomes available as digital TV
and you can get access to the raw MPEG-2 data. But, analog->digital->
upconvert is quite expensive to do well. The MyHD card does it good
enough for me, since I only need to do that sort of thing a couple of
times a month.
