[QUOTE="spiney, post: 125492, member: 192438"] There are further things you could try (basically, what PaulR just said, but "expanded"!). 1) First, make quite sure the SCART lead is ok, try it on something else feeding into your tv set, eg a video recorder. Make sure you're using RGB, not PAL composite! If now satisfactory, try "jiggling" both plugs, both with the "known good" device, and then with the digibox. 2) Try other SCART socket. 3) Each time, make sure both SCART plugs on lead are very firmly pushed all the way in (because they pull out very easily!). 4) Make sure no other equipment is on the same SCART connection, either via a cheap (directly wired) SCART connecting box, or an expensive (electronic switching) one, since you can get conflicting signals from different devices. 5) If no joy so far, try getting picture via box rf out into tv aerial socket, by "sweeping" through the tv channels. Although Cyprus PAL I is slightly different to UK PAL G in bandwidth, and you won't get any sound, the uhf channels used are the same, as is the chrominance offset frequency, and neg modulation vsb, etc, so at least in theory you should get some sort of picture. You might have to tune tv set away from "channel centre frequency". 6) If you've now got a picture, then a faulty SCART socket (one or both) was probably the actual fault. However, now make sure digibox is also set to RGB, (which might possibly fix it). 7) If still no SCART, but rf picture is acceptable, you could use that and get sound from SCART via external amplifier.
