If the RCA is the new digital tuner, then I believe that it has a standard RGB out (from what I recall having read). The Phillips has a similar connection from what you describe given the H and V sync but I'm not sure. If it is RGB you have no problem and you just need a RGB cable with BNC connectors (again, I'm assuming this is BNC terminated). If it is a component input then you have a problem because RGB and component don't like to talk to one another. The other writer is correct in saying that you could use an external doubler or scaler (e.g. Faroudja 2200) as long as it has both types of inputs and outputs available for you. But this is a very expensive solution to cable compatibility and you'd be crazy not just to return the RCA and get a different digital tuner that has a compatible output for your Phillips.However, I think that in the most recent issue of either Widescreen, Perfect Vision (just checked this one and didn't see it so my guess is SGHT), or Stereophile Guide to H.T. one reviewer mentions that there is some company that now has a box to switch from RGB to component and it is reasonably cheap ($500-600?). I'm sorry but I don't recall the specific name of the company or which magazine -- and I can't find it right now. However, this is a very recent development and some of the older articles of the RCA unit even warn about this limitation (having RGB output even though many DTV's look for component inputs).
