Smile upscaling...how to get the best sd picture ?

hi..

ive recently changed from a crt to panasonic TXP37X10B..at the same time i bought a humax foxat hd to replace my sky+ box...

so far the best sd picture i can get is through an ixos scart from the humax...more deatailed opn faces than the sky and not as soft as through hdmi
hopefully im sending a 570i picture into the tv and its upscaling to the 1080i/full screen size...

is this going to be the best sd picture possible for me ?
i have heard that i could get a home cinema receiver that would be evan better at upscaling than the humax ?

if so ...how much would a receiver that does this cost ? [possible 2nd hand ]..
does anyone use this method ?
..is there much of an improvement ?
what specs should i look for ?

any other advice for a great sd picture ?

thanks
Jon

This thread refers to a Freeview PVR but I suppose the same basics apply and may/may not help
