Line doubler and HDTV



I am about to receive a relatively old HDTV, a Sampo 34whd5.
This is a 36" tube that supports all of the modes, 720p etc,
but it does not have a built-in line doubler and is VERY
slow to switch between inputs.

I was thinking about this a bit and it seems to me that the
best place to have a line doubler would be to build it into
the receiver or preamp, and then I would only have to use
one component input on the TV for the DVD, satellite, HDTV
tuner & HDTV dish, etc.

Is this a common feature yet? I tried to do some searches
but couldn't find any receivers that seemed to handle this.

Thanks,
Mark

Say your HDTV set or tuner has line doubling and the other tricks. You use good old TiVo to record off standard cable). When you play back a TiVo recording through a set with line doubling and pixel doubling and whatever else, do you get the enhanced picture or basic TiVo output?
