Default Re: 16:9 to 4:3 Converter?

The only solution that might work is to feed the Sky box video out to a computer with a video input. If it has not got one USB video capture devices are quite cheap. The Sky box needs to be set to 16:9 with no cropping.
On the computer use the program VLC media player to capture and display the video. There should be enough options in the VLC menus with zoom, crop, aspect ratio, geometry etc to get a 4:3 output. You then need a video out from the computer or if it has only VGA a VGA to video adaptor, then feed the video into a modulator to get RF output!
Could work, but is it worth all that trouble?
