Hi DswtF, You seeem to have overlooked the Hauppage DEC1100-T (50 quid in Boots). I can't find it. Have you seen it on their website? Neat little box with strange Scart facility (D socket with an addaptor cable to link to the TV. It also had coax S?PDIF and 3.5mm analogue stereo out. External power supply. Can be mounted verticaly or horizontally (base for vertical use included. I got one for my mother yesterday. Very simple set-up proceedure (no need to open the instructions). No USB, by the way. Oh, and a bit like the Philips, you can flip between radio and tv with a single button press. Sounds alright; £50 for a Freeview receiver with S/PDIF certainly aint bad. I'll add it if someone can find it! :) -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info Freeview receivers price comparison - http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/fr..._receivers.htm DAB radios price comparison - http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/da...tal_radios.htm |

You're certainly correct as regards satellite receivers. The digital receiver ("Porty", made in China) included in LiDL's camping set earlier this year does not provide RGB on its Scart connector. -- Richard L. |

It was in WH Smith. Boots had a Panasonic DVD Recorder at £199. I have only actually seen, and bought, the device in the local shop itself. Will check thier website. |

The one I bought (same model number) definitely has one, clearly marked and situated centrally on the back panel. I have not used the S/PDIF (it was bought for my 82 year old mother, who is nervous about using it). The S/PDIF out is also clearly illustrated on the box, complete with connecting link marked "Digital Audio (optionl)", but as I say, the one I bought definitely has the socket. It's also mentioned, without any mention of it being optional, in the specification in the manual, which also shows it in the illustrations therein. |
