Seems weird that units output RGB but do not accept it inwards to pass
through...

Wah! Some pretty scary stuff in there!


As my little 'flexible friend' is now worse off to the tune of one Sagem
ITD602 STB, I hope the following list of functionality.....


Quick guided first installation Ultra Fast auto tune


AUX scart with RGB
input passthrough


The above is the key point from what I have experienced. :-) If the boxes
you buy have RGB pass through then daisy chain should be fine. The snag is
that some (many?) do not accpt RGB in. I was caught out as I'd assumed from
its reviews, etc, that the DTTV box I bought would pass RGB. It doesn't!


One thing I *do* know is (for those who still think quality of
interconnects is unimportant) that an 'iffy' Scart lead is its own pain
and will lead one into the very depths of misery and despair......


I must admit I've tried three different makes of lead for the RGB and
didn't really notice any difference at all from the DVD. However it is a
cheap DVD player, and I run the audio via a seperate S/PDIF link.

Slainte,

Jim
