I thought the encoder would be successful if it enabled you to select 'Cable' in Media Center (hence making the analog tuner visible in Media Center). My CPU is a Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz, so it should have enough grunt I would have thought.
So if I use the dedicated composite jack, I would also need to connect the audio somehow... I only see a 3.5m jack with optical (well, I think it is optical, I see a red light so I assume so), so is that my only option?
So, just so I can understand, what you're suggesting I could do is:
* Setting: S-Video on the Foxtel box
* Foxtel to TV: Composite video jack -> Composite (need to get the audio to the TV somehow)
* Foxtel to PC: Scart adapter with audio -> S-Video with audio
And yeah... no IQ for me
