Hi All
My Current Equipment is PTAE100 (3rd one)
Sky Digital
Non progressive DVD (multi region)
Scan DTS AMP
Im not an avid AV fan and dont have the money to splash out but my setup works.
My main concern is getting the quality of picture from Sky Digital to equal that of the Sony HS1 via Composite (which i had on loan for 2 months), I went out and bought a LektroPacks RGB->SVideo converter, plugged the scart from the sky box into the unit and passed SVideo into the PJ using a high quality SVideo lead, This has improved the sky picture by removing much of the noise but it still doesnt have the sharpness and clarity of the HS1.
I compare quality via the blue menu bar that pops up when switching channels on sky.
It could be that i'm using a standard scart lead from Sky to Converter or that all my equipment is bundled together under the coffee table (with 8 plug sockets behind the equipment) Or it could be that the settings on the PJ are wrong (ive tried tweaking all of them)
Or, i need to buy that ProV gadet (i can probably get this as a BDay present from the wife)
But my ultimate aim is to simply match Sky Digital picture on the panny to that of the Sony HS1.
DVD's are fine, i have no problem with them.
Any help that doesn't include wads of cash would be much appreciated.
Thanks all

PS. This is a major Wife issue.
