As far as I know / remember, a single SCART input can handle either 
composite ans RGB _or_ composite and s-video. A single SCART input cannot 
handle all three of them at the same time. That was the point in my 
previous mail. If you select the TV to receive RGB, but the SCART provides 
S-video and composite, the TV will fall back to composite.

I thought the discussion was about comparing the composite and RGB output
of the DVB-S card. There you should see a difference: RGB should be better
than composite.

Also, are you sure that the digital receiver outputs s-video and not 
composite?
