Y Pr/Cr Pr/Cb (Component) Out for Sky Digital

Hi there, can the latest versions of the Sky Digital Pace and / or
Motorola Decoders output a Y, Pr/Cr, Pr/Cb (Component) signal in
addition to the usual RGB signal through their SCART connector?

There was speculation last year that a firmware upgrade planned by Sky
was going to make this possible.

If the answer is no I will make do with a SCART to S-Video cable. I have
no interest in buying an RGB to Y, Pr/Cr, Pr/Cb converter or getting a
mySky PVR

Cheers, Andy

Yes, the MySky box will do it. I have one connected this way. The
installer asked me what type of connection I wanted to use and installed
the SCART to Component cable.

However the OP is evidently not interested in getting MySky.

I don't really see the point in paying sky $600 for mysky box when "you"
only lease it from them, surely if you pay $600 you should have some right
to keep it.

it is only a 1-off payment. leasing implies regular payments.and , you can
keep it, so long as you subscribe to sky. What you need to consider, is the
duration you intend to retain sky.

And, the quality / usability of this is awesome. i can fast forward the ad
breaks in just a few seconds.

So, while you fumble around, programming dual devices, i can schedule mywky
to record a program in less than a second.

My breakeven point for making mysky worthwhile is 2 years ownership. then,
if i cancel sky (can't see any reason why i would) after 2 years, i consider
this a good deal.
