Just noticed that the dm800 doesn't have composite, unlike my dm500 (yellow,red and white) which i connect to my tv card in my pc and watch via that when i let someone else hog the tv for a change..
but the dm800 doesn't have any but i noticed it has a dvi and scart, i was thinking of having the dvi to my hdtv, and then use my exsiting yellow,red and white cables into a scart adaptor and then into the scart on the dm800, thus allowing a singal through to my tv card, in theory this would work but i have a dilemma which i think could stop this
when you configure the dm800, my guess is you have to tell it what resolution, 720p or 1080i and if that is the case then maybe the scart doesn't output and only the dvi does?
can anyone confirm?
what i am asking is it possible to use the dvi to hdtv and the scart at the same time without it causing a problem, so i can still view the dreambox via my capture card on the pc
thanks
