Sky Plus scart RGB passthrough DOES IT WORK?

hI

I have a Pace v2 sky plus box - seems to work okay.

I am trying to put a dvd player into the vcr scart so that I can view them
via scart 1 on my tv (the only rgb enabled scart on there)

Is this possible - the screen goes green when i do this - however if i put
the dvd straight into the tv its fine.

It does this with vcd's and dvd's and even divx files i play back through
the dvd player when going through the sky box.

Is it macrovision - if so why does it do it on vcd, xvids etc?

Really confused...............

Your Sky+ probably has a wiring fault in the RGB passthrough. I've
come across this before on both Sky+ and regular Sky digiboxes. I
don't think that this gets tested in the factory.

It's just possible that wiggling/swapping/replacing the scart lead
will fix it but I doubt it. If not you should get a replacement box.

No. All Sky+ and regular Sky digiboxes (not the minibox) support full
RGB passthrough on scart.

Hi, I apologise I was obviously mistaken!

Well it may be a FAQ but i can't see it - I have main Scart set to RGB but
cannot find a setting to set vcr scart to RGB.

Want to help me a bit instaed of saying this is a faq?

Ah. You can't. The digibox VCR scart has RGB passthrough but only
composite out.

Your original question didn't mention the VCR SCART. In any case there is no
separate setting & according to a post here a day or two ago there is RGB pass
through on the VCR SCART.

Aha, that's where I got confused too. I knew there was someing when it came
to connecting to a DVD Recorder with RGB on this socket.
