as I posted in the sat thread just now, RCA's don't carry HDCP so it is more likely just Macrovision protection which your video enhancer should strip. Mine does.
Guys ,
I posted this earlier in the wrong forum.
I have recently replaced old Thompson Austar Boxes with Foxtel Pace IQ boxes .
I find where my RCA leads go into the 4 way RCA switcher ( Digitrex) now I get a lot of interference from the DCHP software on this box where the second box goes into my LG DVD recorder no probs.
Does anyone know where I can get a 4 in 1 out (min) DCHP compliant remote control switch ?
WE use this set up commercially to monitor content and record it for review .
The box works fine on HDMI to the TV but as the HDMI port on the back of the recorder is only out I need RCA.
I have a spare Digitrex video stabiliser and I tried that in the video line between the output of the box and the switch but it was worse.
I would appreciate any help as this is effecting my living.
Tks

HDCP is only carried over HDMI, as mentioned the composite signal uses Macrovision, they still use this on the movie channels and some other channels, video stabiliser from Jaycar can strip the Macrovision signal no problem, I have one but not sure if they still sell them
What exactly is the interference that you are experiencing?
HDCP is only for HDMI connections and Macrovision is only enabled on some movies (mainly Disney) via the composite output.
I have successfully reticulated the composite out from all iterations of the Pace IQ boxes, including my own intallation (connected to an LG Recorder).
If you bypass the switch do you still get the interference?

Guys ,
it was exactly that. I have two Cyprus Digital Video Stabilizers from Jaycar.
The simple fact is one of them was faulty.
I went to buy a new one but no luck as J car don't stock them any more so contacted Cypress and they don't make them.
Any one know of a good reliable replacement available locally ?
Thanks again for the help ,
Tiny, TV guy and Jok11n
