although I shan't be getting rid of my reliable old Nokia any time soon, but this is causing me such a headache. I miss channel hopping late at night, silly switchover!
Could some kind sould please put me out of my misery? Failing that just tell me what to buy and where to get it from?
Thank you so very kindly :-)

Hiya, I need some kind person to help please!
Rather like 'Shaz' posted in January, I have tried connecting up my 1 scart-socket tv set with my 2 scart-socket dvd recorder (they worked great together before) and my newly added 1 scart-socket freeview box, but to no avail. I believe the dvd feels a little jealous!
I did get a basic cheapy scart splitter and tried that, again no luck apart from a badly merging picture - dvd picture and digi tv fighting for dominanace with neither winning. I was watching Titanic which, to be fair, is a bit of a chick flick and slightly wussy, but I think maybe the problem really lies with the hardware.
Someone mentioned to Shaz that they needed to get a sort of splitter that looks the same as a cheap one but has a selector button on it that enables switching between the common single lead and each of the two sockets, as that allows each device plugged into it to be independently selected.
And that is where I need the help. A what now??
I'm trying hard to sneak into the 21st century (no chance I'm ever getting rid of my reliable old Nokia though!) but I have no idea what it is I'm meant to buy. My daughter got me the splitter from Poundland, and I guess you get what you pay for.
Could some kind soul out there please put me out of my misery - or just tell me what to buy and where to buy it from?
Thank you kindly :-)
