[QUOTE="winsys11, post: 59407, member: 15111"] I have a pvr-150. I used a SCART to rca (red-white-yellow) lead. I had to cut the red and white plugs off and rewire them into a single 3.5mm audio jack, as that's what the card's "audio in" used. The yellow one plugs straight into the "composite in" jack on the card. This is "composite video" connection. In terms of quality - technically yes you get a better piccy this way than via RF. No unnecesssary mod/demodulation of the signal etc. Practically? Depends on the source. My cable tv is typically VHS quality (around 300 lines) so it looks crap on the plasma anyway. With good quality cables and connectors (rf) it looks the same to me as the composite. ( I can select the rf as well as the composite from the STB). In terms of cost ? Less than 15-20 $US I guess (based on aussie prices), so it's worth doing anyway. Convenience? Yes, it's nice to use one remote, but I find that if I miss a show on cable that looked interesting, it is replayed at 2 am or whatever. I choose "record" from the MP guide, and that's it. MP changes channels on the stb and records my show. ( even if the Mrs is still up late watching a DVD) [/QUOTE]
