There are loads of such little boxes around, and very useful they are

Indeed. And my experience of boxes that change 'broadcast' RGB into VGA
that a computer monitor will work with ain't encouraging.

Quite why Keith thinks it's anything to do with "climbing aboard" is
anybody's guess.

Or what it's got to do with audio.

He has this problem with understanding the difference between HD video and
so-called "HD" audio.

But since Kitty hates all things digital so much I thought he'd have been
running 35mm in his 'home cinema'.

I know people who do use 35mm in their home cinemas. The problem is
getting hold of films to show!

The usual dodge has been to know someone on the inside at a movie theatre.

I knew of someone who had a complete 35 mm cinema with dolby and arc lamp in
their basement. They had what we in the US call "Family connections".

This is exactly the sort of thing that producers are trying to stamp out
with digital. The video is delivered by statellite or over the web, and
only played from a secure server to secure projection devices over secured
links. The server can be accessed over the web and will give usage
information.
