I recently had sky + installed and was rather pleased to discover that it
had a second scart with rgb input giving rgb passthrough to the tele.

All Sky digiboxes have this, except the minibox.


So I assume that there must be something wrong with the rgb passthrough on
the sky + box.

Me2, though have you tried changing your scart leads?


Is this a valid reason for contacting sky about this problem?

I would. You've bought a new box and it should be perfect.

If you can live with the S-video i would. If your Digibox is replaced the it
is likely to be with a refurbished one - not an option i would welcome.

You can always refuse a refurbished box and demand a complete refund,
and this would normally produce a brand new box.
God bless distance selling and credit cards.

With the scart connected directly to the TV scart rgb socket, the picture is
perfect, so it can't be the scart lead - ???

In that case it looks like a faulty Sky+.
