Hello,

What is everyone using to generate a TV signal for use on a projector? It's proving quite difficult to find even an S-Video output signal, I guess the video player composite line out is the most common.

There are several external TV tuners available for computer monitors etc, I would like to know if anyone has had tried these? Do they give a better picture or are they grainy etc?

Thanks.

Analog broadcast TV is composite, hence using an S-Video or Component interface will give you no advantages at all no matter how you recieve it. Analog TV will always look bad blown up on a projector.

Get Sky Digital, the technology is the same as DVD's (ie MPEG2) and the Sky box's support Composite,S-Video and RGB.

Cheers

Cyril
