Nick,<br><br>Yes actually I've build up an RGB to SCART lead for use with my Nividia 5200 (free from Freecycle).<br>Great picture but not without it's problems e.g. having to use bob deinterlace all the time means that my CPU is taxed, and
<br>LiveTV is not useable because of this.<br>I'd also like to be able to play recordings without worrying that the CPU usage will disrupt a recording.<br><br>I also own a MediaMVP from a previous PVR incarnation, this outputs all 3 forms (Composite,SVIDEO and RGB) simultaneously.
<br>The picture is brilliant, there are no CPU worries but the interface is lacking compared to the full Myth frontend (don't get me wrong it's still good for playback).<br><br>I'm working on the theory that the 350 and MVP probably share the same output characteristics, plus the reduced CPU load, but the 350 can in theory also give the full Myth experience. (Also the MVP can then go in the bedroom...)
