Right.

I've got a sky digi box - 2 scarts
TV - 2 Scarts
Video - 1 scart
DVD Recorder - 2 scarts
Cable TV (which uses coax)
Surround sound speaker set which I use a scart to connect it to the TV.
How can I connect it all together so that I can record from the TV or Sky using either the VCR or DVDR?


PS
I thought about buying one of these http://www.telly-leads.co.uk/smart-scart.htm

The cable box isn't a problem as you can just loop the co-ax (RF) cable through first the DVD recorder and then the VHS before going onto the TV enabling you to record the cable signal onto either by tuning them manually.

You should then have scart leads between the following.

Sky scart 1 --- DVDR scart 2
VHS scart --- Sky scart 2
DVDR scart 1 --- TV scart 1

Home cinema kit ----- tv scart 2

Will be a ballache to configure but it will work

 I think

BTW, you'd be muh better going direct from the DVD to the home cinema kit for the sound, using sart you will only get a stereo or pro logic signal, not dolby digital which is much better.

Sorry, I meant doing it by using a digital co-ax cable or an optical cable rather than a scart, depends on the connections the two units have.

my surrond speakers don't have a skt for digital so is there some way of connecting it using the digital outlet on the DVDR?

If there's a "line-in" for your mobile to record from then you'll need a cable to suit.

Otherwise put your phone by the TV speaker, (don't turn it right up, just normal conversation level :P)

Connect the SCART from the set top box to the VCR. Sounds like you'll have to use the RF (aerial) out of the VCR into the TV.

Have just loaded Tom Tom 5 mobile (GPRS kit) onto my phone. Bluetooth it to an Antenae and the thing is the dogs for in the car or just walking around. Very accurate and pulls up all the speed cams.

Lets just say the software was very very very cheap, the antenae is borrowed off a mate while I try it, and the memory card can still hold loads of songs.

Never get lost again!!

hi all, for any of you clued up on the new ipod nano could you possibly give me the answers to a few questions. im seriously thinking of getting one of these, saw it yesterday for the first time and couldnt believe how small it was.

1. ive download itunes onto my pc in anticipation of getting an ipod nano. i am into various generes of music but id say im particuarly into house music. now most of my cd albums are mix albums so there is no break in the play. the next song just mixes into the track that you are playing and then eventually comes in. now when i downloaded an album like this onto itunes it trys to seperate all the tracks so much so that it isnt a smooth change over from one track to another like it is on the cd if you know what i mean. now cd mix albums like this are able to seperate all the tracks without a break in play, is there anyway that i could get itunes to do this?

2. why is hmv's new download service not compatitble with itunes? surely if you download tracks from hmv to your harddrive, you should then be able to upload them to itunes? ive used other sites to download music and then had no problems uploading them onto itunes.

3. im looking at a 4gb nano and the going rate is £180, anyone know anywhere on the net to pick one up cheaper. ive tried all the usual like google. also know i could pick one up on ebay cheaper but wouldnt trust ebay for this kind of thing.

hope someone can help here.

thanks in advance.

It depends mate. How much money you got and how many songs are you looking to put on? If it's just for the bus or something on the way to work, go for the Shuffle. I have a Mini iPod and filled about 3/4 of its 4GB Capacity. Kind of wish I got the Shuffle though because I don't listen to half the songs on it.

I'd say that I wouldn't want to listen to more than about 100 to 150 songs in total. How many can you get onto a shuffle?

Ok, so an iPod shuffle sounds like it has about the capacity I'm looking for.

OK, this may sound mickey mouse, but how do you get the songs onto it? Can you put them on an iPod from a CD, via your PC? Or do you have to download them from webites such as iTunes?

You burn them onto itunes, takes about 10 mins an album. and then when you plug the ipod in, it puts it on them itself

1. Go to Edit > Preferences then click the playback tab. Tick the box at the top that says crossfade playback and choose the number of seconds. that blends the songs into one another.

2. Search google or download.com for something that converts the file extention that the HMV's downloads are in to the apple equivalent with is aac or acc (cant remember which).

3. Google
