Does anyone know if the standard Pace STB that Telewest uses supports RGB
output to the TV at all (presuming the VCR output on the back is just
composite)?

Mine does. One scart does RGB, the other just composite.

That's what I was hoping, but it just says "TV" and "VCR" on the SCART
outputs on mine.  Have Telewest issued a new STB anytime recently?  Mine is
about 2 years old.

So does mine. The bottom one (TV) is RGB. You might have to
switch RGB on in the setup menu, I forget now.

Dunno. I got my box in mid 2002 - Model No: D/1010T Phase 1b

Yeah, you're right.  When I switch to RGB, my screen moves about 3cm to the
left for some unknown reason, whereas composite keeps it in the right place.
It's a 6 year old TV though and I can't notice a picture difference between
the two, so nothing lost there.  Planning on getting a new widescreen TV
though, thus the thoughts :)

TV normally means RGB output.

VCR usually means Composite but can sometimes include S-video.

There's a Scientific Atlanta one now, same company that makes their
cable modems and is making the new PVR for them.  They installed one of
those first for me but we had to wait a day for it to be activated
because of some delay with the call centre.  The next day I came home
from work and everything was working but they'd changed it for a Pace
box.  It's definitely RGB on the "TV" output.
