    Rear Connections

    As you guys know the skybox is a cheap and cheerful box and we are very limited to the connections at the back.

    We only have hdmi to the tv but theres no scart socket there, I was gonna set my video sender up to it but im struggling to connect up? Theres only video and the audio on the back really.

    Any one got a better idea of how to connect it up to the video sender's scart plz guys!?

    you could use the red/white/yellow connectors on a scart adaptor.

      Have you tried putting your AV sender into an actual scart socket on your TV which has the HDMI openbox working on it and then checking the receiving TV to see if it works?

        think the hdmi and scart connectors would be input signal on the tvs.

          Still worth a bash though.

            This works on some recorders that have various inputs and outputs.

              Correct!

              Hence my question or rather a hint to try it.

              It worked for me. You can enable scart to be I/O or some already have it.
