Afternoon
I am running a Sony RDR HXD 790 HD DVD recorder through my Samsung 42" plasma.
I recently tried connecting it through HDMI rather than scart to try and upscale, but the picture was no better for DVDs and dreadful at transmitting the freeview signal from the DVD recorder (even when using a £45 Monster HDMI cable!).
My TV is HD ready 720p while my DVD recorder upscales at 1080p - is this where my problem lies and is there any way I can get a decent picture through HDMI and free up my RGB scart socket?
I have gone back to scart from the moment - much cheaper at least !
Cheers
Tom
