the Sky machine has two for output, one of them in RGB quality.
Was that a typo, my box is the latest Sky box, +HD 1TB, it only has one SCART?
In answer to your current question - it has two Scart sockets, one for output, one for input, and the Sky machine has two for output, one of them in RGB quality.
Output means the RGB one?
It has the three phono sockets for my original suggestion, and also an s-video socket which would be an improvement on the phono video, and component video sockets which would be better still
So it doesn't make any difference if the connections come from the DVD Recorder or the Sky+ HD box? I thought it did? Or does it depend on what it is your doing? But in some cases it doesn't matter, so the Sky+ HD box having so few connections can be (quite easily?) gotten around using the DVD recorder?
The only drawback to connecting from Sky RGB Scart Out to recorder Scart In, and recorder Scart Out to TV Scart In is that it might need the recorder to be on when you want only to watch from Sky.
Wow, that's really it!? That would be fine with it only going to be for a few months.
So just because (and I may have this completely wrong) to me you're sort of going backwards;
having the DVD Recorder SCART -> Sky box (even though this is the source, the picture is coming from here)
and then (connections wise (like in a straight line of connections), seperatly (like from the complete othe SCART even though on the same ox)) seeing that through, Other DVD Recorder SCART -> TV
rather than (to me) more logical;
getting the picture from the picture from the Sky box -> sending it the DVD Recorder
and then (kind of seperatly) seeing that, by other Sky SCART (this was when I had a 2 SCART box)-> TV
... doesn't alter the picture received, they are oth exactly and technical wise the same?
(I hope that made sence!)
Thank you for you help !!!!
