Hi Tim

WSS on Line23 should pass through KAT5 with no problem as it is part 
of the video signal. This is something I cant test unless someone 
gives me a shiny new tele as mine are too old to support it.

Pin 8 has an internal link that can be set to +12V or +5V and it 
stays that way. The MK2 version with IR repeater will also have true 
control of the SCART switching functions.

In response to your RGB question... you need 4 cores of 75ohm coax 
for Red, Green, Blue and Sync.

Keith (currently 45% into the 3 hour TiVo setup)

(And before anyone mentions it I am packing some KAT5 orders at the 
moment)
