Subjective statement!

For the money and considering that that vast majority of sources that do
not come with built-in support for RGB via SCART and/(but
particularly)or S-VHS connection are generally pretty pants anyway, then
I think that the product is superb. It does the job very well for the
money and I'm thinking of Sky and ITV Digital as the main culprits for
not having built in S-V connections where picture quality is generally
of a questionable quality anyway.

To me and I suspect most others it's a way of getting a decent quality
signal to S-V for easy connection and switching through an AV amp for
not a great deal of money.

Plus we're not all just as fussy as you Tim even though I more or less
totally agree ;-)
