I would be extremely surprised if *ANY* Freeview box cannot be switched to
CBVS on its SCART output! It is far more universal than RGB.


The Scart RGB interface actually relies on the CVBS signal to be
present, in order to provide the sync pulses. There are no 'syncs on
green'. However on Sky boxes the actual video signal on CVBS was (still
is ?) muted in RGB output mode.
