The short answer is yes, RF leads are inferior to scart leads. There are several reasons. A scart lead is used in Europe as a combined video, audio and control connection between video equipment. All signals are carried without any encoding onto to a radio frequency carrier so they avoid the slight losses that RF encoding and decoding generate. Scart leads are also capable of carrying S-video, component and RGB signals as well as composite. Composite uses a single wire or channel for all brightness and colour information and this limits the quality of the image. Using S-video, comoponent or RGB allows more information to be carried and the quality of the image is better as a result. RF leads will only carry a composite signal and will therefore never be capable of the better quality of the other signal formats. Scart leads can also carry switching information so a television will automatically select a Scart source when a valid signal is present on the lead.

Does a TV need a scart connection to use a Freeview set top box?
A Freeview set top box is a digital television receiver for use in the UK and delivers analogue signals at the output, for use with analogue televisions. All Freview receivers have video and audio outputs and normally these are found on a scart connector, the European multi-pin AV interface. If a television has no scart connector, it may be possible to use separate video and audio connectors, normally phono or RCA sockets. If the television doesn't have any kind of video input, then the only option is to use the RF connection. Not all Freview units have an RF output. If the Freeview signal must be taken into the television, then the receiver must have the output signal encoded to RF. Note that some Freeview receivers have an RF output but only to loop through the antenna signal and do not deliver the digital programme to the RF output. To be sure that it will work, you must ask the question "does the output of this receiver feed the RF output?" Remember that many salesmen will not know the answer to this, may say yes to get the sale and you get a unit that doesn't work. If that happens, you are fully entitled to return the unit and get a FULL refund as long as you asked the question before you bought it. (The Sale of Good Acts make complete provision for this). This isn't meant to be an attack on salesmen by the way but I have a big problem with poorly trained sales staff gicing out incorrect information!
