Re: RGB out from STB

Thanks for the Panasonic pdf supplement - that info is now incorporated into the E50 and E55 manuals.

I have left an email with Panasonic - waiting for a reply.

I phoned NTL CS tonight - after the usual 35 minute delay, getting put through to broadband tech support (for a TV issue), I finally got through to TV 'tech support'.

I won't bore you with all the details, but it went something like this..

Me - I can get RGB out from the TV scart, but apparently not on the VCR out - can you help?

NTL - (After much discussion between staff members) We don't think the Pace 4000 outputs RGB

Me - But it is on one scart, not the other - is this by design or is it a fault?

NTL - You have a picture, therefore there is no fault - an engineer visit will cost £50 to confirm this

Me - But it is a fuzzy picture, not a sharp one

NTL - If you have a recognisable picture, that's it

Me - Speechless

Complaint on it's way

Was life designed to be so hard - and if so, by whom?

Anyway, rant over, thanks again for your help - I will see what NTL and Panasonic have to say.

Surely they won't blame each others kit - will they?
For the record I don't think we do output RGB from the VCR scart output. Only from the TV out.

I can do a quick check when I finally get hold of a CR3 box with RGB out, as I only have an S video one at the moment.
