DigiBox S-Video Out

Dear All,

I have an S-VHS VCR and would like to be able to tape the high quality broadcasts in S-Video. Unfortunately my Sony iDTV (onDigital module built-in) cannot output S-video or RGB, just component. Nobody appears to know of any hack to get the TV to output S-Video or RGB.

Does anyone know of an OnDigital or Sky digibox that is capable of outputting RGB or S-Video? There are RGB to S-Video converters so RGB out is just as good as S-Video out.

I have been told that some boxes have the option in the menu but don't actually work.

Thanks,

Griffin

To start with every SkyDigital STB has RGB output, simply select it via the option menus, not too sure about OnDigital though? As for S-Video, I beleive that only the Grundig Digibox (SKY) has this feature, but I'm not 100% on that, but hopefully someone else will put me right on that.

Incidentally unless you have a special S-VHS video, S-video input will have no effect on the recording, as your normal commercial VCR does not handle s-vhs signals (once again, 95% sure!!!)...

Hope that helps a little...

Pyara,

Thanks for the info. I have a JVC S-VHS VCR and this is the reason why I'm asking these questions.

Do you know where I can find details on the Grundig box?

Anyone else for details for OnDigital boxes?

Thanks,

Griffin

I think it has been mentioned either in this or the SkyDigi Tech forum somewhere. I beleive I have a review of the box in a magazine I have at home.

I will have a look tonight and confirm further details with your tommorow... I would also recommend that you post something in the OnDig forum.
