Thanks for that, I shall pick up a cable for that and give it a try.
...but I don't hold out much hope! You see I have a HDMI DVD player (just an upscaler) but I have connected it to the TV via an HDMI cable and an optical cable. The picture quality was great. The internal free-view tuner presents a great picture too.
I had ordinary cable before TVDrive, and this was connected using scart, but produced the same blocky image. I just put this down to the poorer scart connection at the time. Now, since I have already tested the HDMI input to the TV with my DVD player, I'm thinking the TV input is ok.
So, this leaves me with 2 possibilities, either the signal from Telewest has some problem with it that leaves it incompatible with my particular brand of TV, or both boxes do something with the signal that leaves poor image quality both via SCART and HDMI.
I will get the component cables and try this one remaining type of connection to see if it is any better...but I bet it isn't!!!
