[QUOTE="Saturlight, post: 237575, member: 233652"] I have a big Philips 28 inch TV - not a plasma, anything like that. Just the normal "old" type screen, that "curves" - anyway, you get my drift. I bought this is 2004. It's a good telly apart from the two scart sockets at the back. They irritate me something rotton! :-bash This is my set-up: two sat receivers, pointing at Hotbird, with a dual LNB, two video recorders, connected via the black cable which goes into the aerial socket, and two DVD recorders, one connected via the yellow/white/red socket on the side of the TV, the other through the scart socket of one of my VCRs, so I watch it through that. Oh yes, and I have a Freeview box, which is connected to both my other VCR, AND at the back of the TV. The problem is, whilst I can sometimes get a clear picture from scart A, which is connected to the Freeview box, sometimes this picture goes snowy, like a poor TV aerial reception, akin to a bad Channel 5 pick-up signal. Sometimes the picture is clear as a bell, sometimes not. :-bash The other problem is scart B on the TV. I cannot connect another device to that without suffering from the same snowy effect. Either A or B has the snowy effect, but sometimes they both have, and VERY RARELY, NEITHER DO!:-DOH! :rolleyes: So as experts, guys what the heck is going on? Any help appreciated - I am sure I cannot be the only one... Like the Scottish guy who lays the stuff on the road says: "Ta, mac!":D [/QUOTE]
