V6 Box Scart connection

[Higuys]

Hi there I was thinking of leaving Virgin because the Tivo box was too slow, I have now discovered the V6 box and it is supposed to be faster?. with my current Tivo box I use the scart output to transmit to all my other TV's via an RF converter, I have seen photos of the V6 box and it shows a round Scart out socket. 

My question is :- Is this a scart socket and if so is there an adaptor to convert it to a standard scart.

The V6 box is only 100% better than the old Tivo box NOW, prior to poor software updates the old Tivi box was also fast.

The new V6 box has 6 tuners so what, I was ok with 3, I don't have a 4K TV and without paying Netflix there is very little to watch, you cannot use TV anywhere app to stream on holiday out side the UK and its not very reliable only rated 3.1 in Playstore.

I am a big fan of Virgin and it would take a lot to make me leave. The V6 is a great box but as one size does not fit all it was short sighted of Virgin not to enable the scart socket they could then have sold us a new scart lead.

Please see pages 11 and 12 of this Thread for the links [items] you will need. Make sure they all have metal cases and power! {this is an interesting thread} 👍 Thumbs up if I have helped. [V6 Happy Camper]

Hi,

I have been looking at this thread. What about quality? The image you get from scart is analog of poor quality.

You can easily get a HDMI splitter and then feed into scary but the picture quality is bad and you can only transfer recordings in real time. The scart socket is large and often becomes loose and is obsolete. You will want to go back to 405 lines (this was before the 625 lines) next!

It is time to say good bye to scart and move on to the digital age

Well, Tony, it would be helpful if you'd like to tell us how to move to the digital age by explaining how we can record TV shows to a DVD recorder - or any other device - from the HDMI socket of a TiVo or V6 box.

SCART only transmits analogue signals. I'm waiting for a digital solution from you.

No, just a tv with an HDMI input.

I have a standard tv and was given a V6 box for £20. It was then reduced to £10 when I asked if the could do it for less!

It's now installed and fully working on Wi-Fi alone for the past two weeks.
