I've just updated to the latest software. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the upscaling has been improved much at all..

Yeah, I just updated and again the up scaling isn't anything to write home about in terms of improvement.

However the sound is way, way better for me. When listening to audio direct from my TV sent into my home cinema (in Dolby PL2) it sounds flat and the imaging is really poor. From the PS3/Play TV it's like night and day. Brilliant surround (albeit 'fake') and imaging.
