Is S-Video a "US" standard? I seem to think it's been around for
a long
time. I have a couple of older TV sets that have s-video capability but
don't have a hope of displaying NTSC.

S-Video and SCART are completely different things though - S-Video, like
composite and RGB is a standard for the transmission of video signals.
SCART
is a connector, just like mini-DIN and phono.

I think that the ommission of S-Video as an output format from a $ky box is
almost as stupid as the ommission of an SPDIF output from the spec too (I
believe that Nokia did include an SPDIF output but that's about it) for an
emerging digital format to exclude a commonly available video format (and
the best quality routeable format for most of us) and any form of multi
channel audio is frightening.
