You say the RGB connections do std def and hi def

Ive always known RGB connections to be good.
BUT are they of equal quality to HDMI linking ?
My mate had one of them V+ Virgin box thingys, and best we could see was when a program was transmitted in HD you had to go into the menu and change to the HDMI setting but if it wernt transmitting in HD you didnt get a picture, so had to go back into the menu and take it off the HDMI setting, but if (and if im right in saying the last bit lol) the RGB outs can do both then it would be better to connect via them and should get the best available picture every time
If you could explain the above in something close to English so I can understand lol

would be great
Cheers
