Unhappy Re: NTL PVR †“ anything on horizon?

Hmm.... Ok, point taken on the sound thing. Stereo it is.

simpsonsFAN - thanks for the PM offer, but I have a Samsung 2100, so this Pace advice wouldn't help me.

RGB is an uncompressed analogue signal which carries brightness info for each of the 3 primary colours (and sometimes a Sync signal). rdhw is correct with his post on component video. RGB is (arguably/theoretically) a higher quality signal than component.

My issue is that most home cinema receivers only have video inputs for Composite, S-Video and Component via various combinations of phono and din connector. There is no RGB input via either SCART or phono (Pioneer VSXC402 & 502 are SCART only exceptions).

I want a quality signal after suffering on a crap terrestrial aerial for years. Composite is too dark and fuzzy. This means that as my Samsung 2100 only outputs Composite or RGB via SCART I would have to get a convertor box (with chunky PSU) to convert RGB down to S-Video and plug the S-Video into the Amp. Unless anyone knows of an RGB SCART to Component convertor?

I don't think I've ever seen anything output a Component video signal through a SCART connector.

SCART is FRENCH!!! Surely we should lobby to get it banned straight away?
