I have an HDMI connection to my wall mounted tv (no scart cable) and want to connect a DVD player via my Pace SKY+ box. Is it possible, or will I need to run a seperate scart lead to my TV?

There's certainly a passthrough from the VCR scart socket to the TV scart socket (at least for composite signals - not sure about RG:cool: but I doubt it works over to the HDMI lead as that is all digital.

Probably a lot easier (and not as messy) to buy a DVD player with HDMI out and use a switch.
