I thought the longer pins would be needed to lift it above the RGB resistors, so normal header pins would probably be to short. Always handy to have some longer pins to hand though ;)

Longer pins give 10 -15mm clearance from the bottom of the board. 10 mm is enough to clear the RGB buffer components.

I can confirm the un-f*ck board works for hi-res and scart cables.

Cool, any chance of an unf*ck board please Exxcos?
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
