IMO component is better that S-Video, whether it's worth the hassle or
not is another matter given that few amps will switch a component signal
but almost all AV amps will switch S-Video fine. I put Keith's modules
on instead of using a lengthy cable and there was a noticeable
difference in quality, sharpness etc.

As for a line doubler...it's next on my hitlist of things to get,
probably a DVDO i-Scan as its great VFM as well as a terrific little
product. I am talking to a guy in Canada and one in the US about this
just now to see what I can get the i-Scan Pro 3 for as it will accept a
240V supply and handles PAL, NTSC and SECAM. If anyone is interested let
me know and I'll see in we can organise a "bulk" buy, bearing in
mind
that bulk in this case will be two or three in all likelihood and the
target price is around a "landed" =A3400 or so, not bad given
that the UK
price is =A3700.
