Hi

Ok I had an sd sky box connected to a projector via svideo cable and all was good.

Now I have upgraded to sky hd and no svideo out put on back of sky hd box and also the scart isn't wired for svideo output I believe.

Sooooooooo - a friend gave me an old Thomson sky hd box that has svideo output on it - BUT when I plug the svideo cable into this box it produces a flashing colour/bw picture - any ideas why ?

    Sounds like either the PJ is not locking on to the signal or the box is faulty.

    What other connections have you got on the PJ?

    Is the Thomson box an original, one with component outputs?

    Yes - but no component on the projector.

    The old sky hd box (the one with the svideo output on it) was flashing between colour and b and w on svideo output soooooooooo - it also had the old epg - so I upgraded box to newest epg etc and now its a solid black and white picture ??

    Would a rgb to svideo converter box cure this problem ? - I dont mean the small scart adapters I mean a proper converter - can anybody recommend one - or has svideo been disabled on new sky hd boxes?

    I don't see why a dedicated converter box won't work.

    Looks like Sky are not supporting S-Video anymore, on new/old HD boxes.
