Quick question,

I want to send RGB via one SCART to TV and S-VHS to via other scart to other TV..

But the 999 options only seem to let me have one or the other?

Anyone know the pinouts of the scart sockets so I can make up a cable...

Cos with SVHS on I get B&W on my RGB and on RGB I get B&W on my SVHS!

??

oh and for the record.. I hate the 'tiscali tv' thing... looking forward to when they screw it all up and have to sell it back to HC

You are only going to be able to have one or the other. Thats how it always works. Sounds like you have a cheap scart cable without all the connections wired up.

I thought S-Video has never worked on HC? Didn't matter what cable I tried I only got B&W on my S-Video enabled SCART?

Because the pins used for RGB and the pins used for S-Video overlap.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scart for a full explanation of what SCART actually is and does.
