Dear members
I am new here so hopefully I will not make a fool of myself
I have a Pioneer plasma screen which I bought early last year from Sevenoaks. It is the PDP504 model and is connected to a Pioneer AX5i AV Amp in a 5.1 system.
I have Sky+, DVD and VCR connected to it.
Input 1: Sky+ (RGB Scart)
Input 2: My VCR (Svideo)
input 3: DVD (component)
input 4: empty (HDMI)
Now my question / dilemma
I am buying a modified xbox with a highdef kit, this is not a problem as I can always connect it (the xbox) along with the DVD player via component to my AX5i Amp and then component from the AX5i to input 3 on the plasma
BUT
I am replacing Sky+ with either Telewest new TVDrive or Sky+ new HD box when it is available. Now, as I read from this forum that Input 4 will not work with Input 3 - Am I correct?!
I was planning on connecting the HDMI (SKY or Telewest box) to the HDMI input.
I am not keen on keeping the VCR, so if anyone has a solution envolving dropping the VCR from the equation - no problem.
One more piece of information: I heard from another cable forum that the TVdrive from Telewest can output HD through component.
I hope what I said made sense and that someone can provide guidance.
Thank you
