the connection options available for this are;

SCART to SCART (gold heads full number of pins)
SCART to Composite (using gold head scart adapter with LeftRight & video(composite/s-video) with full number of pins) or
SCART to S-Video (using the same above adapter)

thanks
 
You won't get any better than scart to scart with the Freeview box set to output RGB and connected to an RGB input on the TV...gold-plated or not.
 
so is it better to use the scart or s-video, cos not all freeview boxes allow you to select output as s-video and yet this one does and it doesn't even have an s-video output it's only cos i'm using an adapter through the scart and yet the option is there for s-video/rgb in the config menu of the freeview box
 
From what I've seen, S-vid to S-vid does give a better pic that RGB-SCART to RGB-SCART.

BUT if the source is RGB scart, you're not going to miraculously make the picture a little bit better by converting the picture to S-video... more likely the opposite.

Save the s-vid input for something else (X-box, DVD, etc) and go with RGB SCART to RGB SCART.

Only use composite* if you're configuring the box* or if you're REALLY, REALLY desperate.

* (it's easy to plug in and out, 'cos there's no orientation and it's difficult to break - its the only nice things that you can say about composite)

NB - if you've not got the SCART setup properly to do RGB output from teh freeview and RGB input on the TV, then it will default to *deep voice* the dreaded composite :eek:
