Brian:
1. Use Auto on the TV, and select 16:9 output on your receiver (e.g. Freeview box)
2. The signal strength of a SCART connection is sufficient to travel about 10 metres. If you're seeing noise on the picture, it's more likely to be because some other cable runs near enough to the SCART cable for the noise to be picked up. Fully-screened SCART cables should usually reject enough noise, though.
If you lose colour, it usually means that one or more of the pins in the cable isn't making proper contact. Unplug the cable and plug it back in, making sure it's fully pushed home. This may also fix your noise problem.
If any of the pins in the plug are pushed into the housing, or bent, replace the cable. They should all be the same length, and only slightly shorter than the outside housing.
There are also different modes for how colour information is sent down the cable. Make sure that if you have selected RGB mode on the DVD player or VCR, that the TV is configured to use RGB mode too. My parents' old Panasonic TV can only handle RGB signals on some of its SCART inputs, so check the manual.
The other mode that everything supports is Composite, which might also be described as CVBS.
One of the cable's pins allows the sending unit to say that it is sending composite mode or RGB mode, so it may not be necessary to select which mode the TV uses.
Rarely, equipment also supports S-Video, or Component. Don't select these options unless you're sure that both ends support it.
If your devices have two SCART sockets, make sure that if they are connected to each other, you have a set of chains (e.g. TV<->DVD<->VCR) and no loops.

Thanks Mike. Now have mostly normal shaped people, and round circles. Oh for the days of test cards. Will have to pluck up the courage to tackle the rats nest connections next.

Hi, Now retired and completely new to this site so please excuse any mistakes. I am fed up paying Sky and am now thinking about free TV. We have a Sky+HD box and Twin Rx SKY dish so can I use this box to receive free HD TV and if so what and from where? Can I record 2 channels if not watching another? Can I record 1 channel whilst watching another? In other words can I continue to use the box as I currently do but without having to pay anything? Think thats it for the moment. Ant help much appreciated but I am a bit of a technophobe so please keep it simple : )

Arthur: As soon as you cancel your subscription to Sky they will disable your access to the recording and play back side of the box at around the same as your ability to view Sky package channels, this done via a download into your card.
If though you wish to retain these recording / playback facilities you can take out (at the same time as cancellation) a £10.25 per month subscription that will allow you to use these facilities as before, but ONLY these facilities and not package channels.
As far as free and HD channels are concerned, you will still be able to view the undermentioned HD channels as well as all free ones, but I would mention the aspect of Ch5 HD when you are talking to Sky just in case they have changed anything.
BBC1 HD, BBC HD, ITV1 HD, Luxe HD, C4 HD, however Five HD currently requires a Sky Freesat Viewing Card.
If though you want to give up sky altogether then the dish and cabling is 100% compatible with Freesat devices.

Hi jb and thanks for that. Is there any box on the market that will enable me to record, pause,rewind and ff live TV and will I need a subscription card of any sort?

Arthur: jb38 will doubtless respond to you himself, but the "Freesat" Humax current range of receivers will offer you that and more and you will not require a subsciption card. e.g:- they offer BBC iplayer ITVplayer 4on-demand and demand5 with future additional possibilities. There are also hidden features that will allow the receiver to Multi-Sat and with 3rd party softwear act as a network server. - These receivers come with a range of different options in terms of storage capabability 500GB and 1TB Hard Drives. - You should check the Humax UK Direct web site to view the specs and options available. There are of course other "Freesat" receivers on the market but the Humax options are currently in front in terms of what they can be caspable of.

Arthur: As Les Nicol has already given you the main details of the latest somewhat more sophisticated Humax box there is no point in repeating anything said, these by the way ranging from £250.00 for the 500 GB drive or £300.00 for the 1TB version, but though if you are only interested in a quality standard Freesat HD recorder of the twin tuner variety which will do all that you have specified in your posting then I would advise looking at Humax's well established standard range, with myself having been using the FOXSAT HDR 320GB for over two years with faultless performance, the only minor glitch being a relatively instant fix problem with some of the remote controls supplied with them, insomuch that every month or so it would lock up, the easy fix being to take one end of the remote controls battery out, press any button, then reinsert the battery again and it springs back into life, the action of pressing any button discharging the IC in the remote control.
