yep, sounds that way, or possibly a faulty scart lead? Like I said,
I'm not 100% on this. funnily enough it sounds like the old complaint
against the ps2 doesn't it?

Make sure the socket you're using on the tv is for RGB in, oh, and I
think the scart has to be a fully wired one. but yes, check those
settings and also the sky box settings, I think it needs scart
switched on and the thing set to RGB and not PAL.

To be honest I think it is an old crappy scart cable and probably not RGB
one. But its working with the DVD set to component which is very strange
but its all working. You don't think it will break the picture will it?

If you feed a component ('YUV' or 'YPbPr') signal into an RGB tv you get
a greenish picture. You must make sure your source is also set to output
RGB into the scart lead.

This is what is making this complicated for me. I am not feeding a
component signal into it.
It is connected by scart. Its when I select RGB it goes green, even though
I have a good solid scart cable which I am certain feeds RGB. Its something
either on the TV, the digibox or the DVD recorder which is wrong but I
cannot work out what to do. I should be able to select RGB and be done but
its not happening.
If I use scart and select component as the source, then I get a good
picture. I cannot work it out.

Good picture with the correct colours? If so it sounds very much like
that it is outputing RGB when you select component, and vice versa.

Good picture, correct colours, everything normal what it should be.
Myabe the DVD menu is wrong and what is listed as component is RGB and what
is listed as RGB is component.
If I selected the real component through scart leads would that give me the
greenish hue to the screen?

Probably a fault in the DVD player's firmware or wiring. It is
probably doing the opposite of what you are setting it for.

I saw one like that once.

Set it to what works and don't worry about it.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking later last night. Just a simple menu
problem.
My worry was only that setting it to the wrong thing could harm the picture
in the long run, but if that is not the case then I will not worry about it.

the only thing I would really worry about is that the recordings are
okay. Best test for this would be to record on yours from sky and then
playback on a different setup, see that the quality is up to par.

I did a little test when I set it up and the recordings seem okay, certainly
no problems as far as I can see.
