Toshiba technology to upscale YouTube videos Toshiba has announced that they are currently working on technology that will upscale YouTube videos when played back on an HDTV.
"I saw new technology [from Toshiba] that will improve YouTube videos for playback on a TV when I was in Japan", said Andy Bass, Toshiba's UK boss.

"We've had good old fashioned nice products", added Bass, "In 2009 you will see a more stronger line-up from us".

There was no word on when the technology would begin shipping with sets, but a 2009 launch is expected.
