Help with setting up new TV box

Ragsab — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 18:11:43 GMT

So I have had my new TV box delivered. I can't get it to work!

I have noticed my old box has a TV Scart cable running from the TV box to the TV. Without this my old box doesn't work.

My new TV box delivered today doesn't have the option of using a TV Scart cable. I'm guessing that my TV (about 15 years old) will not be able to use the new TV box.

Can someone confirm this is the case.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, unless you have an HDMI input it wont connect.

I don't know how good these are but you can get an HDMI to Scart converter cable.

Heres a google search link.

Sorry, find using these pages almost as confusing as the problems they're trying to solve. Have set up new box as directed but getting 'no signal' flag on screen before can reach promised 'on-screen set-up' from there. Any suggestions please?
