manaia: The first decoder upgrade that enables component went out last night (software 0340 on the Pace 5512 or DSR2000). The other decoders that can support component (Pace DS230, Motorola 5512, 5516 and 5512UMM) are scheduled to be updated through October and maybe into early November.

70mm: I have a 5512, what do I have to do to get the upgrade?

You should see the software version 0320 in the 'diagnostics' screen.

Sit tight and it will come to you. All SKY customers with DSR2000s should get the download today. The download was a bit damn slow at first but this should have been fixed by now. Once your decoder receives the download signal it will show a progress bar as it downloads over the course of 20 minutes. After finishing the download the decoder will reboot. You should see the software version 0320 in the 'diagnostics' screen.

0320?, you said 0340 earlier :)

cyril7: Yes it happens all on its own, the STB will report that it is downloading new firmware and not function as normal until it is complete (around 20min it would seem). At the end of that it will reboot on its own accord. If you see the option in the SCART setup menu then you have the new code. The diagnostics page should show the code version as 0340 (old code was 0320).

My software version says 0340, is this the new scart to component version or not?

cyril7: Any standard SCART to component adaptor cable will do, there is/has been a long established wiring standard of Y=G, Pr=R, Pb=B, and the composite circuit is available as well on the standard composite out circuit. The Y channel also carries sync as per all Component connections.

You can obtain a SCART cable from Jaycar (WQ7255) that has a 1.5meter lead with both the YPrPb RCA's and the L&R audio RCAs for $47.95, there is also a cheaper version sans the audio (WQ7245) for $35.95.

Or you can just use the simple SCART to component adaptor and supply your own leads, Jaycar PA3667 or DickSmith P6676 each about $15. Unfortunately these dont give audio aswell, pity.
