Re: RGB out from STB
All STBs are composite only on the VCR scart. I think this is because many videos (like TVs) will automatically switch to an RGB source if one is detected, regardless of the switching signal that is being used. Clearly this isn't good if someone is looking to record from terrestrial. Also, it makes no difference in quality on VCR whether you're recording from RGB or composite -- and I'm sure no-one thought abotu DVD recorders when these STBs were designed....
