We have an LG 42LF20FR which was bought in Dubai. It has no freeview software so we will be using it as a monitor. (this is instead of our old analogue tv).
It has two HDMI sockets to which we need to connect our Sony DVD recorder which has HDMI connection.
We also need to connect our Thomson freesat box which does not have an HDMI connection. It has an RS232 connection.
Currently the sony dvd recorder and the freesat are connected to each other by scart leads. both are then connected to the current tv also by scart leads.
My question is how do we connect the freesat box to the lg tv's hdmi connection? Also can the freesat and the sony remain connected to each other by scart leads when connecte to the lgtv?
Sorry if it seems obvious, but I really have no idea!!!
