For months I've been wanting a good feed from my Sky box to my projector. Only problem is that the Sky only has RGB scart out and my projector only has component in. Yes, I could use composite but the quality would be awful so what were my options?
I thought of buying an RGB scart to component converter which are available at places such as Keene Electronics for around £70 but that is a lot of dosh for a small box that does nothing else.
Then it hit me! Buy a DVD recorder which has component out. Most do these days, even the cheap sub-£100 ones. They have RGB scart in and component out (progressive in many cases). I bought a Panasonic DMR-E55 from Boots for just £109 which has a time-slip function ( record and pause live tv) and the image to my projector now is great.
Don't spend £70 on a small box, buy a DVD recorder, get component Sky TV to your projector and have the ability to record it thrown in!!!!
Just my little tip for the day!
