Hello Darryl,
Would it be possible to temporarily move the HD STB closer to the projector so you can try a really short component cable ?
Maybe extend the antenna cable temporarily , as this will have less of a bad effect than a long Component cable.
DVI is great, but at high resolutions I doubt you will get a good picture over 14 Meters/45 feet. There are expensive boosted DVI cables available however.
Is the component cable you use from STB to Projector OK if you connect it to a DVD player, (to prove the cable is OK)
I guess the output from the HD STB is weak/noisy, as 14M is no problem for a decent component cable.
Wish we had HD set top boxes here....
Good luck!
Hello Yandros,
The Z2 component input does not look that much different to S-video input on the few Z2 that I have seen.
maybe it's the scaler.
Z2 looks best with HTPC (In my opinion

)
Maybe sell that Z2 and buy an S3, you know you want to
Mark.
