Hi All,
I have a SKY + box with a PWD8 (had it for a few years now... after receiving much advice on this forum)
I have to say that I havent quite caught the HD bug yet and am very happy with my SD picture that I get.
I have an Onkyo 603 receiver and an S video connection to the SKY + box... from the receiver. Component cable from PWD8 to Onkyo 603. I have an optical cable (for sound) going from receiver to Sky+ box.
My normal sky box (in a different room) has given up.... so I called Sky and they offered to move my existing sky+ box to the second room and I would have a SKY HD box in the main room (though havent subscribed to HD yet...)
I have read somewhere that the HD boxes are not good for SD pictures....
1) How true is this?
2) Which make of box should I request to get the best PQ for SD
3) How will I connect my Onkyo 603 receiver to the new HD box - Will it have an S video connection?
Sky are due to come in tomorrow so any advice ahead of that will be greatly appreciated...
