Hi Jackie
If you're worried about the scart leads putting strain on the connectors you
could always get the ribbon cable types. Amazon sell them for a few quid and
they are much lighter and the cable doesn't come out from just one side of
the connector. Personally I hate scart leads as they are so heavy and bulky
and completely unnecessary. Whoever designed them needs a kick up the
wotsit.
Darren.

Subject: [access-uk] Using SCART connectors on various devices
I can now report that the chaps who set up our TVonics box came back
yesterday with a SCART lead. We now have a system whereby both our
standard
Sky DigiBox and the TVonics unit are connected to the TV via SCART. When
we
turn on the TV, the built-in Freeview comes on by default. If we then
turn
on either the Sky or TVonics devices, they will jump from one to the
other,
depending on which one we want to use.
Our only concern is that the latest SCART leads are rather heavy, and the
one when connected to the TVonics box looks rather precarious. If they
had
screws like the old Parallel cables where you could put them in and
tighten
them up, it would cause less strain on the pins.
However, that's the best and easiest method for us. Using one device on
HDMI and another on SCART is a real faff!
Recording programmes and deleting them is easy, and looking through the
EPG
is also very helpful. Yes it does stick when you right arrow, but
pressing
this button twice quickly generally moves you on through the list. I
think
that is a bug!
All in all, very good.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
