I think you misread my post. I said "you can't archive with RGB whilst watching something else". The TVDrive has two video decoders, but the second one, which is used by the archive function, is only connected to the (non-RGB) VCR SCART socket. You can split the RGB signal as long as you are happy to watch what you are archiving.

I suppose you could swap the TV and VCR SCART plugs over, and watch one recording whilst archiving another.

Note that if you have the output set to HDMI or Component, the TV SCART socket is disabled completely, because it can't decode both in HD and SD at the same time.

Don't believe everything you read here. The Telewest version was very specifically designed for the Telewest network, and a lot of changes have been required to make it work on the ntl networks.

(ps. Less of the text-speak please. I was trying to work out where "Telewest zone 4" is )
