scarts),video( 1 scart),and dvd player( 1 scart),what do I need to do so i
don't have to keep unplugging things to watch whatever of the pieces of
equipment I want...at the moment,the stb has aerial in, scart to tv,scart
to video,rf to video in,link out video to tv...and I've tried several
combinations via a 5 way scart extension block to link the dvd,( 5 way block

My DVD player seems to dominate my freeview box and I can't over-ride
it. Switching it off (rather than leaving it in standby) does the
trick.

Bit muddled. Try a two way Scart switch from Maplin - it allows the two
devices to switched, but to record off each other.

Otherwise get a decent telly with more inputs.

combinations via a 5 way scart extension block ...

You really need a switch, Maplins have quite a good selection. Read
what they connect/switch, and how you're supposed to record through
them (scart adds to the confusion here). Drawing a diagram can help.
The staff can help too, perhaps take along relevant info and ask for
advice (at a quiet time of day).

You can get ones with remote controls, and add to the pile ;o}
Actually (and you'll think I work for them) I think they're doing the
e-pilot 8way learning remote for about £30 in a sale at the moment...

Good luck,
Alex
