As
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCART says: "RGB connections are not bidirectional. Bidirectional S-Video was added in an extension, although few devices support this, so downstream connections are almost always composite."
SCART has both input and output composite pins (19 and 20), but only one set of RGB pins (7, 11 and 13). These are wired as inputs on the VCR socket of all STBs AFAIK, so you can play back RGB through the box.

Yes, if there is such a thing and it supports HDCP. But only by using normal playback, not the archive function.
