Guys,

I have got a TV with only two scart sockets and one hdmi socket.

I already have a eurovox and satellite box connected connected to the scart sockets and a dvd player to the hdmi socket. I also want to plug in the v.m. cable box to get on demand programs but it seems that I would need another scart socket to that which I do not. Is there anyway you could suggest as to to how to get around this?

Thank you

the easiest way i would of thought would be to use a scart switch. just plug your eurovox and vm scarts into the switcher and then plug that into the back of the tv. you can pick these up for a couple of quid and then you could switch between the 2 as you want. hope this helps

You can also get auto-switchers, mine has 4 scart slots and auto selects the right input depending on which devices are in standby and which arn't.
