    I've ordered a multiroom SkyBox. I want to output to my Dell 24" LCD which has S-Video/Composite connections for video -- can this be done or does it have to go through another device/tuner first!? I also have composite-in on my laptop.

    Thanks.

    s-video will work fine. But only if the digibox has s-video out, they all dont.

    In that case the composites should also work fine so!?

    Can you buy SCART->S-Video adaptors -- that might do the trick!?


    Thanks.

    You can buy a RGB SCART to s-video (NOT the cheap SCART plugs with an S-video connector, they are for SCART sockets that already have S-Video), convertor.

    Gives better results than a simple SACRT to composite cable.
