I did buy an S-Video to SCART adaptor, but the quality isn't hot. It 
seems to just convert the S-Video signal into the equivalent of a 
composite signal that SCART understands, so not RGB.

I found a VGA to SCART adaptor but it was about £70, and that's a bit of 
a risk without knowing what the quality is going to be like.

Also - running the FE on the Xbox will may end up being the more simple 
solution if it lets me get rid of the m10k box. Less stuff to clutter up 
the lounge :)
