It is not possible to upscale any source to a higher resolution and get better quality than the software contains. Upscaling video can soften edges on VHS and CATV but but that relies on the scaler in the television. Your money is probably best spent on a Sony ES DVD player that only has component video output. Fancy cables are not in order either. If you have a local high-end shop you will get better advice than from Circut City. Good shops will let you take the player you are interested in home to demo.
Sony ES model 555 or 999 are both very good players ($600 and $1,000 respectively).
Good luck.
