..my Sky HD box gives a superb output via both HDMI and component BUT I have to use the scart to output to a HDD/DVD recorder.... using the scart the quality of my picture is severely degraded - colours 'smearing' and lack of fine detail, halos around edges....
This means that any signal being recorded by the DVD recorder is of a far lower quality that when viewed straight from the SKY box...
If I record a Freeview signal from the inbuilt tuner of the recorder (this is linked back to the Sky HD box via HDMI-2 on my TV) because the signal has not come out via the Sky scart it is once again 'top notch'... Therefor the problems must
lie with a poor signal coming from the Sky scart...
I've 'upgraded' to quality scarts but this makes no difference whatsoever...
Does anybody on here get this sort of problem or is my Sky HD scart output typical of what to expect...?
