Hello

I plan to buy an D945GSEJT to build my new VDR box and I would give a try to the VGA2SCART (FRC) output. My TV-set is still a good old CRT.

1. Is the quality comparable to a dxr3 card which I am satisfied with ?

If you get FRC working, it's about as good as RGB SCART can possibly be, which is much better than the SVideo output of a normal Dxr3. I haven't seen how an RGB-modified Dxr3 compares.

2. Can it be used with a BCM70015 card in order to play HD channels ?

That should work in principle, but I'm not sure what would be the best way to use it with VDR. Proper 1080i->576i downconversion may also be a bit tricky to achive with current solutions. 720p and progressively coded 1080i broadcasts are easier.
