HD Ready TV and HD SKY+

My `HD Ready` TV (Philips 32pf5520d 32" LCD) does not have an HDMI connection, only DVI. As I understand it you can get a HDMI to DVI cable, but DVI is video only. Does anybody know if the new HD Sky+ box will have audio output which I will be able to connect to the DVI Audio Input connection on the TV?

Cheers,

Rich.

RE: Picture Quality (Philips 32PF5520D LCD TV / DVDR610 / Sky+)

Sussed it - the connection to the DVDR should be via the TV scart, not the VCR scart on the the Sky+ box (which doesn`t output in RGB).

Job done.

Picture Quality (Philips 32PF5520D LCD TV / DVDR610 / Sky+)

I have the above equipment connected using high-quality 21-pin scart leads as follows:

TV (EXT 1) to DVDR (EXT 1)
DVDR (EXT 2) to Sky+ (VCR Scart)

Can anyone tell me why when watching Sky there is a noticable drop in picture quality when the DVDR is switched on (tuned to EXT 2) compared to when it is in standby? This is obviously affecting the quality of recording Sky programmes onto DVD (why I bought the equipment in the first place). Sky is set to output in RGB and the DVD is set to Automatic in the picture settings, if that matters.

Cheers.

RE: Philips DVDR610 and 8x Speed Discs

Cheers for the responses.

It would appear that it was just the first two discs which were knackered. On closer inspection they had slight scuffs on them, possibly from moving in transit. The rest have been fine (so far).

Thanks again.

Philips DVDR610 and 8x Speed Discs

Hi All,

I have recently purchased the Philips DVDR610 (obviously having not read this forum ;) ) and everything seemed to be fine - I have none of the clock jumping or switching problems. So far, so good. However, I have just bought 50 x DVD +R discs from Novatech 8x Discs .I tried using one of the discs for the first time overnight last night and it seemed to start recording fine (recording on EXT2 from Sky+) but this morning I couldn`t access anything on the disc. The same thing happened with another disc I tried recording this morning. I wondered if it was because the discs are 8x? I can`t remember off-hand the exact error message I was getting but I know that I tried recording over one of the discs and got the DISC FULL error so it does seem to be recording to the disc.

Any advice would be appreciated.
