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.

Very pleased for you.

Splitter should not really affect pictures quality if you use the one in the link (see page 11) with usb power

I might get slingbox too. Sounds pretty kool.

Hi - great thread. I have set up as per Gaz's instructions and all works fine, thank you, apart from when I have both TV's on after around 20 minutes I lose the signal on the second one - can still get the sound but the screen is just the lines of colours. I am just feeding to one extra TV from the V6 - any ideas?

Try a better quality HDMI lead. I had a similar problem with V6 box to tv when the signal would go down. The Virgin engineer changed the HDMI lead and there's been no problems since.

Thanks Worldmaster - I used the lead that came with it and the other one came with my old sky box so I assumed they would be OK. Any suggestions for a good quality one?

Great - thanks Gaz. I think I'll get a better quality scart too while I am at it as that may also be having an affect on the signal quality

When you start splitting HDMI signals then running to Scart connectors and then turning the signals into RF - you need good quality Gold Leads to reduce your percentage of lose

I'm sure the ones and zeros appreciate a connection that is only really better for analog
