Component out

[dac182]

Is there a flashable cable box available with component outputs and if so whats is the best one to go for

[deegnm]

THE Itgate 200 0r 220 is the best box by far IMO.

Hi,

You can use a scart to component convertor on a dreambox and select component out in the video settings.

That's what I do and it provides a very good picture. Much better than just scart.

Should work out cheaper!

I also use a scart to component video converter and good quality component video cables...much better than a decent scart cable.

Never tried an itgate box though.

@ Devilfish

Do you use something like this:

SCART to Y-U-V Convertor > Maplin

Or will something like this do the same job?

If you email the guy at Mark Grant Cables they will make a lead up to your spec but it's expensive but worth it.

You can also get scart to component cables on ebay.

Would this work also?

SCART to 5 AV RCA Quality RGB Cable FOXTEL component 2m on eBay, also, Other DVD Home Cinema, DVD Home Cinema, Consumer Electronics (end time 21-Oct-08 20:30:31 BST)

Whats the difference between this one and the 3xRCA lead?

[Devilfish]

That one has audio phono leads included too. That's probably better because then it leaves your audio phonos on the box free to go to an amp, etc.

[junkiepilot]

Thanks Devilfish....

sorry for being stoopid, so the 3xrca lead you use does not carry audio?

Would this work also?

Bought this cable, and it is of brilliant build quality. Connected it up and my picture has dramtically improved.
