Hi

Just got the HXD995 and impressed so far.
Connected as below -
Sky+ box TV scart to Scart 1 on HXD995
Scart 3 on HXD995 to TV Scart (only RGB Scart on TV)
TV aerial looped through digital & analogue tuner on HXD995 to TV.

So I've copied SKY+ and the HXD995 in series so as both can use the single RGB scart on the TV.
So I'm sat there watching TV (with HXD995 in standby) or recordings off the Sky+ box and then the HXD995 switches on when a recording starts (on the HXD995) - this then stops me from watching the Sky+ box.

Any ideas/suggestions/workarounds ?
Only thing I can think of is to not use the pass through and connect the SKY+ direct to TV and connect the video Scart from the Sky+ box to the HXD and then Scart 3 on HXD to a non-RGB Scart on the TV.

Thanks in advance

How about getting a 2-port SCART switch? (£14 from Maplins. About half that on eBay.) It allows two devices to share a single SCART input (i.e. your TV) with a push button to decide which to watch. Then you connect:

Sky+ Video out to an input on the HXD995

Sky+ TV out to one input of the switch

HXD995 output to the other input of the switch.

Yes, there is an easy workaround which I discovered on another forum:

Press the "Channel up" button on the unit (not the remote) when it is on. This will put it in a "SCART through" mode, whereby it sends out your SKY signal to the TV, rather than the signal from whatever its own tuner is locked onto.

This is a really useful feature, but strangely not mentioned in the manual.
