Take a look at the following sites for details:

http://www.nexusuk.org/projects/vga2scart/index.php
http://www.sput.nl/hardware/tv-x.html


Personally I went for the last site listed. This will give you RGB
output to the TV, you can just output the raw interlaced DVB-T signal
(no de-interlacing required) and each horizontal line of pixels
generated by your vid card will map natively to a scan line on the TV.



I was looking at the nexusuk circuit, but the sput.nl one looks the same anyway. Time to pay Maplins a visit I think...



Could someone with more experience tell me something - I am cautious of building a VGA -> SCART converter, but perhaps I do not need to be. It has always concerned me that I might send a signal that is WAY out of range down the wire (frequency, voltage etc), and damage some aspect of the TV.

Is this possible? The TV is a reasonably recent 32" widescreen.

How does the TV handle the text-mode signal? Does it sync well enough to be displayed before X kicks in, or is the boot-sequence hidden?

Is there a site where I can read-up on this type of issue?

Many thanks for any answers.
Regards,
Steve
