STB Question

Hi All

I know this may be a silly question, and your welcome to shoot me down in flames if thats what floats your boat. lol

Does any standard STB have HDMI OR COMPONENT Cable output , or are they just all SCART ?

Let the abuse begin lol

Only the V+ has HDMI since none of the others have a HD or upscaling function.

As you didn't actually specify that you were talking about VM, some people claim that the newer Sky+ boxes have HDMI. This sounded a load of nonsense to me and I've never seen any evidence to support it.

Virgin media I'm on about.

Problem is we got a 32 hd lcd on Friday for the bedroom, and because it's only scart connection for STB, the picture isn't that great, there is shadows if anyone moves on screen and blurry, i've read other posts that say, play about with tv settings, which i'm gonna try. It's just really annoying.

Thanks for replies so far chaps.

You don't need HD or even zoomed up SD to use component or HDMI. Low end STBs just don't have them to save money.

try switching the picture output in settings menu to RGB you should have a better picture

If you upgraded your TV why not upgrade your V box, go on, spoil yourself!

Or he/she could wait a few months based on today's news that the newer v+ is launching just to make it a bit more likely he/she would get one.

Already got V+ downstairs.
Played about with settings during Falkirk and Dundee UNITED match on Setanta, and guess what United Won lol, I managed to get a decent picture.
So to everybody THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND ADVICE.
