    The octagon is a fully functioning Enigma2 receiver and will do every thing you have asked for above although i cant speak for slingbox compatibility as i dont use one.

    Composite is an analogue standard and typically analogue outputs don't do HD so you may find that ALL equipment is the same with regards the highest definiton that it can support with composite and 576i is likely to be the maximum.

    Code:

    You MAY (no info in the specification) be able to get a higher resolution if you use RGB (red, green blue) or component (3 cables) connections from the SCART.

    You've opened up a very old thread but anyway it is possible to output HD over analogue - Component Video (YPbPr) definitely does at least 1080i and can be very useful if one has a broken HDMI socket. Composite video is indeed limited to 576i. RGB component cables are capable of 1080i but I have never seen any devices that output 1080i via SCART.
