	You might get better results connecting the SCART on the decoder to the
S-Video input on the BrookTree card - I'm doing that with a DTV box at the moment.
You need the right kind of SCART->S-Video converter (one with a switch is best IME).

	Sync detection problems perhaps.

	It might overload the mic input. Does mixer =rec mic help ? Post the output
