Drummerdave:Gerrardasnails:Drummerdave:Gerrardasnails:Drummerdave:I invested in a decent scart a few years ago for vhs duties. Now I have Sky HD which is connected to my TV with said scart and the freebie HDMI. I noticed last night than the non-HD broadcasts have a noticably better picture through the scart than the HDMI. I realise this is probably due to the quality of the HDMI cable. Would the "best buy" £50 Chord Supershield be the way to go for an upgrade?
I have to say, I find this impossible to believe if you have the settings right. Do you have your Sky box set to 1080i when using the hdmi cable?
It's not a full HD tv.
What do you have it set to? Either 720p or 1080i, both should make the picture better than scart. Have you tried it with the scart lead out and only the hdmi in? Just to make sure for certain that you have got it in right input/there is nothing wrong with the input.
I think it's set to 720p - I'll try different settings
Try auto, if you force the box to 720p or 1080i then the box has to do the upscaling on SD, set the box to auto and you allow the TV to upscale, hopefully it'll be better at it than the Sky box.
