Getting a progressive picture on a non HDTV

[JYDog]

With a 5 year old 53" Sony RP non hdtv set, are their a way to turn it into progressive(non-interlaced)? I am think a line doubler but not sure if it works on older tv sets.

"Are their a way," huh? Maybe there is a way, if your TV has RGBHV inputs. Check to see the what connections are possible.

only has composite and S-video connections..

Probably not. You'll exceed the bandwidth of the circuitry in the TV.

Smoke some more weed and maybe it'll look clearer to you.....

Ok..why don't you make your own post and have fun with it.

if mine has component inputs, how does that help?

I posted something similar to this in Video, and the response was that you're SOL if you don't have a TV that explicitly states that it supports a progressive signal. Even if your TV has component inputs, it might not support 480p signals due to the effectively doubled signal frequency.
