I'm just doing some homework on this, and I think this may be an  
explanation:

 From what I'm reading 576i via component may give the best picture  
on my telly (which, as I've mentioned before, has a 576 panel). To be  
honest I don't know if this'll be discernible from 480p and allowing  
the TV to upscale, but it's what I'm inclined to go with.

I'm beginning to find tellies, and tv technology in general, to be SO  
frikkin' legacy. Makes me wish I'd just bought one with a VGA input  
in the first place.
