I have a strange little problem. My Pace Sky Digital box (note: not Sky HD or Sky+) is connected to my Panasonic 32" LCD by two methods:
1. Directly via SCART
2. Indirectly via SCART to my Sony RDR-HXD870 PVR and then via HDMI from the PVR to the TV which is upscaling to 1280x1080p.
The picture via method 1 is pretty decent under the circumstances.
However, when I watch Sky via method 2 the outlines of objects have a fairly pronounced "fizzing" around them - this includes on-screen channel logos and even the Sky box channel menus.
When I play a DVD on the Sony RDR-HXD870 via HDMI it looks fine with none of these artifacts, it's just the Sky picture.
Is there something wrong with the Sony RDR-HXD870 and the way it inputs/outputs/upscales the Sky signal? Or is it the Sky transmission itself which is fine when transmitted via SCART but then goes crappy when an HDMI interface is involved?
I'd be grateful for any advice!
Thanks,
John
