721594 2008-12-08 04:02:00 Okay sorry about this but I'm back again.
I've replaced the sky scart rca cable that went to my tv with a scart s-video cable. Now I don't have a picture.
I've read that the skybox should be set to s-video which I've just done.
Now what have I done??

721595 2008-12-08 10:38:00 Are you sure you got the correct SCART-Svideo cable?
SCART plugs, for some reason, is directional not like a normal plug (RCA etc) that signal can go either way.
Your cable may be expecting the signal to be coming in from the S-video end and out through the SCART plug.
You need to cable that goes the other way.
My SCART - svideo cable actually has a switch on the SCART end so you can change the direction just by flicking the switch.

721596 2008-12-08 19:41:00 I asked if it was the right one at the counter and they said yes. Not that that means anything.
After reading what you've just said I decided to ring Sky and they are going to send me the right one out.

Cheers

Just thought I'd let you know that you were right. I was given the wrong S-Video cable even after explaining at the counter what it was for.
Sky sent me one out and it works fine.
