Hi all - very useful forum, has answered a few questions so far. I'm after some help with 2 final issues please.
Firstly, I am trying to connect via component to my TV (42" non-HD plasma). In standard mode, the picture is completely distorted and further, can only be used if set to 'composite'. Setting the box to component or HDMI does not work at all - makes sense given the non HD TV. Any clues? Telewest tell me that component can only be used with HD tvs, but other people on this forum have reported success using standard mode and component.
Secondly, I used to have a Nintendo gamecube plugged into the VCR scart socket on my old box; turn the box off, gamecube could pass through to the tv as expected. I can't seem to get this to work on the new TVDrive box. Telewest have told be (true to form) firstly that the VCR socket is output only, then another person said that it does indeed pass through and should work fine. They also said that the VCR signal should overide the box even if it is switched on.
Is it becuase I'm not sending a VCR signal through this scart that nothing is happening or is it indeed an output only scart socket? I should point out that the gamecube feed is an analogue cable ending in the red, white and yellow RCA leads, which are then plugged into a little scart adapter, in case that makes a difference.
Any help appreciated!
EDIT: nice way to start life on this forum, a typo in the message title. Sigh
