Thanks Nick & redcane
It looks like either solution you proposed is going to work as I can
either get a scart adapter with both s-video & rca plugs or a scart
cable with both s-video and rca cables.
Now, for Aussie Foxtel Digital Satellite users - what do you connect the
STB to the TV card with? I am looking at getting a Hauppage 150 but as I
understand it the 150 only has a TV aerial type connector, but I would
like to ask if there are any alternative cards that would accept a
scart-to-something so I could use the VCR scart connector of the Foxtel
STB (it is Pace DS420)
Cheers
