It’s a problem with the way the
plasma works. You can’t use svideo and
composite together.
I also use a converter box made by
John
Sim (as a special) which uses DC offset on the svideo
chroma pin for widescreen switching. I’ve
yet
to come across an amp or switch box which passes through this signal
(including
my Meridian), so it has to be directly
connected.

What problems do you have linking
HomeVision to the plasma?
Is it for the TV
output
If so you are worrying about nothing
Although the TV control system is
interesting
it is not a serious contender nowadays for useful control of
HV
Use ACE as an interface for HomeVision
every time
I keep meaning to try Homeseer I have
a
registered copy from ages ago
But every time I think about trying it
this appalling genie appears on my screen and I give
up
I must say though that everyone who
uses
it raves about it
Mike
Please I know a lot of people use the
TV
control for HomeVision, but I'm sure only carried over from their original
setup, I'm only talking of new installs here

I got into a friendly (well I
think
it was friendly!) debate with Mark on Messenger last night regarding CAT5
in my
new home.
I don't think I need it, he
thinks I
should put it in anyway.
Bearing in mind the long
dimension
is likely to be 10-15 metres and on a single
floor.
I use wireless LAN for
networking
I've got a cordless
PBX
I'm going to buy a new Marantz
RC5200 with RF-IR module
I've got no need for whole house
audio
I'm going to install shed loads
of
LD-11s plus Touchlincs and Homeseer (I may buy a Homevision, but due to
problems
linking it into my plasma I'll only do it if Homeseer isn't up to the job)
for
lighting and curtain control.
Can anyone think of good
pratical
uses for CAT5 in my particular case?
Two on topic posts in two days -
that must be a record.
