do u thing of QEDs SQUARTs?&nbsp; I had high hopes when I read about
them first, but the reality is that SCART is such a crappy design that
there's bugger all you can do &amp; even the SQUARTs slip out
occasionally.&nbsp; It's annoying that they only slip out enough that
you lose the left audio track, so SWMBO sits there watching TV, not
realising that Paulie &amp; Peggy should be yaking in the CENTRE of the
screen, not to the FAR RIGHT :-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
