I
have
a Panasonic Digibox and have to say that the composite output is very
good.
I
have
tried using RGB but on my Mitsubishi the colour is far too intense and the
image
leaps about 1.5 inches to the left. I havent got a service manual to see if
I
can adjust it so for now I use Composite.
I
plan
to use S-Video at some point in the future so that I can simply route
everything
into the KAT5 switcher and AV amp as S-Video.

Hi
I have found that there
is
no difference between Sky Digital Composite and RGB.
I have got a
Loewe Ergo 28" and Panasonic Sky digital box and I was using good
quality
SCART leads.
I spoke to a HiFi dealer friend of mine who tested the
same theory and he agreed that there was no difference, he suggested
that
is was to do with the quality of converters on the Sky box.
Not
sure
what to make of it all
Regards

to SVideo vs KAT5
Following recent mentions of the RGB to
S-Video
converters @ www.rgbtosvideo.com, I purchased one of these and connected
it
up as follows:
Panasonic SKY Digital box -> RGB2SVideo ->
AV
Amp -> TV and also I had Panasonic SKY Digital box -> KAT5
->
TV
Now the KAT5 unit is picking up the composite signal from the
sky
box, so in theory, the RGB2SVideo picture should be
better.
Disappointingly, they were as near as damn it
identical.
This means one of the following:
1. The RGBToSVideo unit is
worse than expected (though ppl on the group were happy with it) and is
degrading the signal to composite levels 2. The KAT5 unit is so good
that
it is resolving the composite signal to SVideo levels! 3. I've got a
_special_ edition panny that outputs SVideo from it's scart sockets 4.
(Just thought of this). The cable from the AV amp to the TV is
about
8-10m long (screened RGB cable adapted to feed svideo & composite
signals) so maybe the loss in the cable is so great that it reduces the
SVideo out of the amp to Composite quality......
I guess what I
really
need to do is go Panasonic SKY Digital box -> AV Amp -> TV
(composite) and Panasonic SKY Digital box -> RGB2SVideo ->
KAT5
Amp -> TV (SVideo) to see if the cable is the problem. I didn't
do
this initially because 1. I didn't want to daisy chain the two devices
in
case of some sort of signal problems (as I had with the panny/kat5
initially) 2. I haven't got an svideo -> SCART lead (lots of Scart
->
Svideo though :( )
thoughts anyone?
cheers,
Tony
