I'll keep my fingers crossed for you mateBarend said:Well, my Panny dvi card still won't accept the pal mode even with no disc in the dv868 player...
Ah well, ordered the new Denon player and see how that fares...
So early September you can all witness my Enormous Agony when it still won't work or my Exquisite Joy when it does!

woodgaz said:So can anyone tell me.... is the pic via the Panny DVI board better than that via component? I am looking at a Denon 3805 to do all my video switching and connecting to my Panny via component (its currently via S video to my old all in one DVD system).
However I want to be future proofed for HDMI so am considering a DVI board (or an HDMI one if they are actually bringing one out). Do I need to be picky about what DVD player I get (re no of lines output) if I am going to use DVI at any point.
I DO use my pc with the screen occasionally via the VGA. Would the DVI be better for that too? I have the PW6 - thanks to recommendation from Joe Fernand on this forum. Very happy with it so far but want to maximise my investment.... S vide aint the way I'm sure!
ripclaw said:MAW, what about the iScanHD scaler connected to a Panny 6UY? Would that work, i.e. take a 576i PAL signal from a DVD player with DVI and scale up to 1080i/1080p via the iScan's DVI output?
Well set up plasmas on TCR? Don't make me laugh.woodgaz said:You know what Liam.. I think you've answered my question there.
The whole question was raised because I was up Tott Ct Rd and saw a Pio 43" plasma next to a Panny Viera and a Pio 50" HDMI. The Panny and 50" Pio both were receiving a component feed from a Pio DVD player (Im guessing the 868) and the Pio 434 was receiving the HMDI feed. The difference was very clear and made me think DVI/HDMI is something I want. However if it just because the component feed is crap from that DVD then maybe I should just hook up a good component source and be happy with that.
How much of an improvement over my current S Video setup do you think I will see into my PW6?
