Connecting TVDrive to Fujitsu P42HHA10 Plasma

I am due to have TVDrive installed next week . My Fujitsu plasma is currently connected to Sky+ (via RGB Scart) and to a Pio 868 (via Monster HDMI to DVI connector). The Plasma also has an analogue RGB input. The Pio outputs 720P upscaled DVDs via the HDMI (I recall) and gives a great picture with good quality DVD sources.

I am struggling with how to configure the inputs when Telewest drops in . Options seem to be:
1. TVDrive to RGB, Pio as is.
2. Pio to RGB (output not upscaled as far as I can tell), TVDrive to DVI.
3. Pio and TVDrive to HDMI Switching device (I don't have).

Would really appreciate some help.

Andy.

Options 2 and 3 are your best bet (you will getting benefits of HD from the TV Drive).

I have a HDMI switch I can recommend - post if you want the details.

Thanks for this - I would appreciate the recommendation . I will compare the quality of picture from the Pio using both RGB and HDMI outputs - if substantially worse I will go down the HDMI switching route. Do you know what form the output is from RGB on the TVDrive?

After checking out the Fujitsu website, it appears as if my plasma will accept 1080i through the analogue RGB inputs. So this might be a viable option until HDCP kicks in (if it does) IF TVDrive outputs an RGB signal in High Def. Dear old TW's "technical support" had no idea of what I was talking about. Does anyone out there have a manual which desribes the RGB output from the TVDrive?
