[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 28879, member: 175089"] @ kyliesat, Plain and simple: what you are experiencing is the difference between (nasty) composite and RGB. In this instance: pressing 'SKY' = RGB, pressing 'TV' = Composite. RGB appears duller - but, it isn't (sic). Besides, and in MHO, RGB is much healthier for your TV than Composite - and I'll put my money on your TV tube lasting longer if you set your box to the middle contrast setting and continue to view in RGB :) Its one of those asthetic things. If you prefer Composite, or worse, the RF output from the box looped through a couple of VCR's and a record deck - Rolf's suggestion is right up your street. If you are a complete snob, like me, who can only work with the digibox's menus in RGB - try wiggling or replacing your SCART cable. I have the same problem; only because I keep sharing three cables over four devices and sometimes things get a bit loose :-) Odd, but true, that when one of the component colours (usually blue) goes - I't usually takes a while to work out that its gone :rolleyes: Have Fun, Mark.
