Ah, so you had the problem regardless of whether or not Kat5 was in
the loop.... this is not quite the same as me.....

True, but as I have demonstrated by my lack of knowledge, composite
seems to travel quite happily thru svideo circuits - all my sources,
sky included are fed into svideo circuits on my amp, which then
feeds to the TV & there are no probs - until KAT5 enters the
equation.....

That's a thought....
Keith - if u think this will work, then just tell me what to buy
from maplin & I'll do it. No point sending to u just to solder a
