But wait, there's more. Some poking around and I have solved the Sky Pace box SCART crap S-Video thing!!! Actually, Tim already had, I just re-read his whole howto for fun and noticed the solution lurking there in italics. Turns out the Sky box has a setup screen that configures exactly what sort of video signal comes out of the two SCARTs - cool. I felt that surely three of us couldn't have ended up with dud boxes.Quote:

SCART Setup, ENTER then scroll to S-Video, ENTER, then S-Video again and ENTER. The first one sets the SCART labelled TV, the second the VCR one (though they are just labels). Cool eh? Plug in your S-Video cable and viola! Crispy clean colour, in my case noticably better than composite. Those SCARTS are flexible and hence require setup.
Now, back to reset my video input to S-Video on tivo (thank God it's Friday).
Let's keep pickin' away at this guys! I promise you it is definitely worth the effort.
