World cup looks fab on Toppy
I have to say that the England game looks fab via the Toppy
watched a bit of Sky HD an hour before the England game, and to my eyes it gives it a good run for it's money Noticed a few blackouts though during the match

Are saying the 'Toppy' has a better PQ then Sky HD?
So how have you connected this up to your TV? As there so many options on the manual and very confusing? May be thats were my problem is, I have connected all the connections at the back of the toppy, but cant control the colour on tv when out putting to RGB? Regards Alien1x |

not necessarily better than Sky HD, but certainly up there! I have my Toppy connected via a scart to a Panny plasma.
I guess looking at the comet demo, they may not have fully exploited the connectivity. |

Picture will only be as good as the weakest bit, I know people who've spent over £100 on a scart cable and swear they can tell the difference to the free one that comes with the kit - rubbish, same rule applies, weakest link is normally the display in 99% of households. |

Mmmmm?There is a huge difference between using a tacky scart and my quality scart. There really is. |

Yes, although it is very close.
RGB Scart has a signal wire for each colour. S-Video encodes the colour signal onto a single wire and the luminence signal onto another. This encoding can result is slight errors with the worst when a red and green background are next to each other. These 2 colours are diaganly opposed signals when encoded onto the colour line so usually cause a boundry to be seen between them. |

My Toppy is fab for avoiding the World Cup. I'm hardly even aware that it's on!
