RE: Sky+ question

["James Hoye" <james.hoye@xxxxxxx>]

1. If I connect the optical cable, will I also need to connect the stereo leads too? Does the box output pro-logic or stereo through the optical connection if no dolby digital soundtrack is available? 
   
   It _should_ output stereo PCM via the optical out, which your Meridian should be able to handle quite nicely.
   
2. Does the RF output contain line 23 ws switching (for the bedroom telly)? If not, I know that Svideo works over about 15 metres if you use a reasonable 75Ohm cable. Is RGB the same? Can you use a common ground for R,G,B and composite over scart (5 conductors in total) or do you need a cable that has four runs of 75Ohm coax plus three conductors for stereo. 
   
   KAT5 mate, you can carry Svideo and stereo audio over a single run of CAT5 cable - you are installing some CAT5 aren't you ;)
    

I’m thinking of getting an LCD display panel for the bedroom, and don’t really fancy installing a second box, as it will never be used at the same time as the primary TV.

 

KAT5 has scart connectors as standard - but Keith is quite accommodating in providing variations of these....
