Hi, I know that at least RGB (or YUV) is better than S-Video, but 1st I
was not sure if you can output this on a DVBs 1.3/1.6 (I only have a
Nexus). Second, I am not sure if you can use RGB on every television
set. Although there are pins for RGB-Input in a scart socket, I am not
really sure if the signal is always displayed correctly on TV sets.

There has been a comparison between FBAS and S-Video on the nexus card
and many people said that there is not much visual difference (if I
remember right). If this was correct I don´t know why beginners/normal
users should build a special cable for their J2.

That´s why I called the other users 'professional users/video
enthusiasts'.

But thanks anyway for your clarification.

Jörg
