Hi All,
I am trying to connect my Sky STB to my Win7 media centre, in a slightly different way. Previously I had a MCE150, using a simple SCART-Composite cable, and it worked reasonably well, except for the fact that the picture was pretty average.
I had used a SCART-Component cable, direct to the TV. I have now rewired, and am using 1 x NOVA-T 500, for dual HD freeview, and 1 x HVR3000 for DVB-S freeview (so I can view Freeview on my Linksys Extender).
I would like to use the analogue input on the HVR3000 for Sky.
The HVR3000 came with an adapter cable, with the 3 x component video cables, connecting to a s-video connector, which fits into the card perfectly. I bought a cheap RCA to 3.5mm audio adapter for the audio, and I am know able to view Sky in Media Centre.
However I am viewing a Black and White picture... (Yes I do have the component cables connected colour to like colour... :)) - and I am stumped. I know there is some settings in the STB, that change the SCART setup - but I did try changing the SCART Component settings, and no luck...
Anybody else do anything similar? what was your outcome?
Cheers
