Many can, for example my Topfield is fully switchable via Settings menus. May pickup one of those cheapy ones from Woolies and set what they're capable of... Butis more what I'm interested inA.

Guest Shane_XR6T Guests Posted 23/06/05 05:21 AM Share Posted 23/06/05 05:21 AM I see Aaron has connected his Xbox to the ICC. Just wondering what cable was used to do the audio connection. I connected mine about a month ago and it has been working fine, however I get a bit of gearbox whine through the audio connection. Any suggestions on what type of cable works best?I am in the process of writing a “How to…” document for those who are interested in connecting an Xbox to the ICC… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will then need to be fed straight into the Dig TV box and viola! no need to point at the boot!! :lol: This should not be to difficult. I will let you know how I go.CutsnakeWhat is the Infra red port usually used for on the ICC ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 12volt STB that supports NTSC RGB straight out of the box. I have seen it for sale for around $150 at Myer Megamart. The brand is Nordmende.I have a mate who has put one of these in his XR6 and it seems to work quite well...Cutsnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed it up in the corner where you don't notice it. It works fine whilst stationary (in a good signal area) but like all the others is prone to drop-outs whilst moving. On ebay for about $40-50.
