I was already planning to build one of those when I got the chance - apart from anything else the only spare S-Video input on my TV is on the front but I have a spare RGB SCART input on the back. > Take a look at the following sites for details: > > http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/vga2tv/ > http://www.nexusuk.org/projects/vga2scart/index.php > http://www.sput.nl/hardware/tv-x.html > > Personally I went for the last site listed.

I was looking at the nexusuk circuit, but the sput.nl one looks the same anyway.

I realised that the RGB output would be better but I didn't think the S-Video output would be quite as bad as it is - like I say the S-Video output from the DVD player is not bad at all. Certainly it is much better than composite while the S-Video from the Myth box looks no better (and maybe even worse) than the composite output of a normal set top box.
