<pre wrap="">Hi Guys,
I just got digital television here in Belgium using Telenet as a
provider. They have a specific decoder box with its proper remote. This
box only has SCART out for the digital channels. Normally, this would be
connected to the TV, however I want to get this signal go through my
MythTV box so I have all the good stuff. ;-)
How can I capture the signal from the SCART connector using one of my
two PVR-150 cards in my FEBE MythTV 0.20 system?
I could use the S-VHS connection for video, but what about audio?

<pre wrap="">The PVR150 has a separate audio input for recording from SVideo.
You've just got to find the right cable with a SCART input on one end
and SVideo and audio out on the other.
SCART includes audio - you've just got to find the right cable. Make
sure you get the right direction ie SCART to SVideo/Audio, rather than
SVideo/Audio to
</pre>

<pre wrap="">I don't think those exist... I've searched far and wide, but every
SCART<->S-Video adapter (cable or plug type) I've ever found was only
for *input* of a S-Video signal. Even the ones that are switchable
between input and output only actually switch the audio and composite
video connectors.

Well I have to admit I've never used one but this looks like one

SCART to S-Video & Phono Leads
Manufacturer: Nikkai Pure Connectivity
It says amongst other things
• Switchable as an input or output lead

I'd be willing to bet that it would turn out to be one of those where
the S-Video connector doesn't switch. I actually ordered an expensive
cable from Conrad very similar to this one thinking it would work, but
it turned out to also have a composite video connector, and that was
the one that switched...<br>
<br>
I seem to remember that it was actually electrically impossible to make
a SCART adapter with S-Video input because the S-Video and the RGB
signals actually share some pins.<br>
<br>
But who knows, maybe these guys figured it out... :-)<br>
