Hi Guys,
Electronics aren't my forte (you probably guessed!) So our old TV went pop, we are now on the second replacement (long boring story).
The Freeview plus box (only a couple of years old) has only an aerial and Scart (IMHO the worst connectors ever invented), anyway, the new TV (with Freeview built in like our old one) has aerial, HDMI, AV ......Does anyone know what lead I need for connecting from scart of Freeview Plus to this tv?

The freeview box should have an HDMI port, so just use that to the TV. Job done.
Freeview only has aerial and scart

If its only an SD one, but guessing at only 2 years old and a PVR version that it has HD which will have an HDMI socket.

What make and model is it.

I have an early freeview box before HD channels came out and that is scart only.
A Goodmans 500GB Memory (From Sainsbury)- Definitely only scart (and aerial in and aerial out)

Thanks for the help gents - Would the scart to av do it? A lot less expensive!
