Just watched an old classic from my old VHS machine through COMPOSITE! Apart from being a bit soft, the image and colour quality was great. I've decided to get rid of my 60" RPTV as it won't be used anymore. Even my wife, who is not impressed by technology was very impressed and enjoyed the show immensely. The Faroudja processor really is that impressive. I'm not bothering with component wiring, I don't see much variation. S-video for DVD and satellite and composite for the taped stuff. And you don't need a progressive DVD player either, let the X1 handle things. It will and it does!
