I've just ordered one, and amazingly the cheapest place to find it was
www.Amazon.co.uk
It comes tomorrow, and I've also ordered an iPad to component cable too.
I might also get a HDMI to component box (like the one Sy was considering), so I can record from my Humax HD-Fox t2 and store/edit/remove adverts.

I did, but lack of use and short of cash... I sold it.
Now I'm getting another.

It turned up 20 minutes after I woke up... perfect timing.
Only trouble is... ghosting, and it's appalling too, some of the worst I've ever seen. Had no luck in town getting the official cables either. 7 game shops and not one set to be had. Even shopto are sold out, so i had to buy a set from amazon and a set from play.com, which ever arrives first I'll keep.
Hauppauge will be getting a blasting for this.

So you wasted near £20 just to see which one comes first when they are both being delivered by RM okay....

Wow Astro
and read!
In any case, amazingly I've just found my old set, I thought I'd sold them with the PVR... they work perfectly!
All I need now is HDMI to Component for my Humax HD-Fox T2.
Do I go for cheap ass cables and hope that HDCP isn't a problem? Or get a converter box?
