Switching to S->Video gives a crystal clear image.

Hmmm...... I'm using a 40-odd quid QED SQUART lead to connect my SKY box to
my amp (can't remember what I use for the video!) so I wouldn't expect any
bleed in that lead.  The amp is a Yamaha DSPA-3090, the flagship in it's
day, so I'd think that should be reasonably good at separation too....
_could_ my TV (a Philips 32" PW9763) be deciding it is composite due
to no
luma being present?

I'll probaby get one of those RGB->S-Video jobbies mentioned on the list
earlier so I can see if there is a big difference in colour quality when I
connect it thru the amp also - though of course, the piccie should be
better
anyway due to a superior source signal.

Note Keith:  Just in case you are wondering why I am getting this when I
have ordered an RGB KAT5 from you to connect the SKY box to the TV, it is
for when your switch arrives.  I will have SKY RGB direct to TV and SKY
RGB->Svideo to the switch for distributed video as the switch will only
support S-Video.

I though of getting SKY+ for s-video, but it's a bit expensive for what it
offers.  May just settle for TiVO instead (SWMBO permitting!  Initial
discussion on PVR's elicited 'so what?' type responses :( )

Oh, and I mention Sky here instead of my VCR I used in previous examples as
VCR quality is too low really to notice any improvements in piccie quality
anyway.....
