Sky hd box outputs?

[poo at Paul's]

I thought I'd ask on a motoring forum as sky technical line don't have any idea, but what video outputs do the new sky had boxes have? I have ordered an upgrade for F1 channel and gone from sky+ to sky he plus . We have multiroom at present and the cinema room runs from a denon av processor and uses an S video input. Only input options are s vid, composite (yuk) and component.
My sky plus box has no composite out, and I think the new hd boxes dropped their component out too, but so long as it has svideo it will be ok. I don't really need hd, but would like the new f1 channel and would prefer f1 hd upgrade than going for sky sports on the sky + system as it seems a waste.

Does your Denon AV amp have an HDMI input? If yes then use that. If not you can get a scart adaptor with an S video out. Or just us the composite video.

You can get them for a couple of quid but here it is at Maplin.

Infocus 5700 runs at max resolution of 576p (the 7200 was 720p)

Best picture results would be to route the Sky+HD box direct to the M1 socket (DVI-D) on the Projector. You will need a HDMI to DVI-D converter and a DVI-D lead to do this. Then take the digital audio out from Sky+HD box to your Denon AV amp

(Podie be aware that a lot of the new Sky HD boxes especially the non plus ones now have very limited connectivity)

The new sky boxes only have HDMI or SCART output, so the cheapest option is to plug a SCART-Phono adapter into the sky scart socket and take a composite feed from there (there is no s-video out from the scart socket). You can spend a little cash and switch the sky box to an RGB output then attach a RGB(sync on yellow) to component (YPbPr) converter box or RGB(Sync on yellow) to s-video converter box. Keene electronics is your best source of weird converter boxes.
