I have no idea how the RF from the Spectrum will trnaslate via a HDMI convertor.
I'm pretty sure that the Spectrum Show on Youtube had something in one of the episodes about something that could be attached to original Spectrums to get a flatscreen tv friendly signal.
As an alternative, there is a very good Spectrum emulator on the Wii, which also allows key reassigning to a game controller, which is very good for games with bad key layouts, of which there are a fair few.
My Next won't work properly with my led flatscreen via rgb-scart, and I get very bad image tearing, I think it's something to do with the Next and the TV maybe being out of synch, and not refreshing the frames correctly. From what I can gather, the problem seems to be mostly the fault of the TV. I have yet to try it over VGA, that may solve the problem.
