OT (again) Scart connections.

Anyone have any experience with Scart splitters?
Our TV only has one scart input, and the PS2 and
NTL boxes both have Scart outputs...

 

Maplins sell them, I think I paid about a tenner for a dual one.

HTH

 

Make sure you get one with gold-plated connectors. My mate tried to
save a few quid by getting a cheap one and gets ghost images floating
across the TV (from his VCR, IIRC).

 

Good stuff. Any problems? Image quality degraded? etc?

Hmmm, interesting. I don't use a scart-splitter, but I know I have at
least one really cheap crappy scart lead. Could this perhaps explain
the buzzing noise I get when watching stuff off the $ky box, I wonder?

Must swap leads around and see if there's a difference...

 

Interesting. I shall have a nose...

 

And so will your child, I'd wager.

 

I used the cheap lead I got with my DVD player, for about 3 seconds.
Took it back [to Richer Sounds] and got it replaced [FOC] for a
gold-plated one.

 

Will, mate...

 

(William Grainger) somehow managed to post:

After replying to Ace up there ^ I thought, do you have a Richer
Sounds near you?

I cycled past Grainger's local Richer Sounds (Hills Road, Cambridge)
every day for three weeks or so before Christmas. And didn't give in
to temptation. Amazing.

 

Very probably

Check for a pulse.
Check for testicles.

 

I have both and have not felt tempted by Richer for over a yaer now.
Upgrading can do that

nope

 

As others have said get a good one.
I've got a cheap shitty one that I bought from Dixons, cost less than £20
IIRC, five way effort (I need four scart connections into just one scart
socket worse luck).
Like a wally I expected it to work, and it does up to a point... but
basically it's pants, so spend the extra dosh and buy a decent one, let me
know which one you get and if it's any good (i.e. be my guinea pig <g>).
Cheap ones do work but feck if they ain't a bit crap (works best if I just
have the one thing at a time plugged into it, even if the other three
devices are switched off!). FWIW the trouble only really started when I
bought a PS/2 and an X-Box.

 

Argos do a good one that's cheap as well, 534/0370, it's fully wired for
RGB too. Search Google groups and you will find plenty of recommendations.

 

I parsed that as "Scat connections".

It's okay, I'm phoning the hospital now...
