RE: FW: Sky & Stuff

[Mike Griffiths <mike@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob
I think you'll find it is TiVo that has the tuner
NOT $ky
How many VGA inputs do you have with your Plasma
I'm guessing that you are feeding RGB to Plasma VGA
I ask because you could always fit a PC to the other PC input  (if
there is
one) and then that could give you tuner and s-video on screen display
i/p
via a TV graphics card
Again the Picture quality is excellent as long as you output VGA NOT
S/vid
