HDMI to Scart

[Skyedriver]

My young son has a load of stuff on a Nexus and a HP stream that he likes to watch, mainly DVDs I've converted.
He's going on holiday over the summer and I think the old TV only has a Scart socket. Is there any way he can watch the lap top stuff which has an HDMI output on the Scart only TV. I have heard the converters aren't the best.
Cheers

Lap top only a 13" screen, and limited capacity (can add a microcard though)
Was just thinking: connect to the 26" tele would be better.
And I can add a few films for wife too, she cannot see the small screen.

Going to take the DVD player up I think.

They are there for 5 weeks. They've never been without one of "lifes essentials" for that long.

Can you imagine the Skybox when they get back too? It's pretty full to start with.

This is why I'm always on Pistonheads - cannot get near the TV

Back again...
So if a DVD player has a HDMI out and the old TV only has a Scart, I'm not going to get a decent pic either?

No.

HDMI is all digital
SCART - whilst only a cable/connection standard is all analogue, and can cope with (SD) composite, rgb and svideo signals only.

You need a converter for anything. Frankly its time to buy a new TV.

Hi Rob
Agree with replace the TV BUT it's in a house we have for sale up in the north of Scotland. When/if sold we'll not need it a new TV at all. We only call up there for holidays and the like. (No TV Licence as no aerial, no signal and no Sky as the dish fell off the wall).

THanks

Seen new ones for £24 so yes, just get one for up there

And positively: after 18 months on the market we have actually had two offers today...
Not high enough but at least offers, the place has been like Kings Cross, the number of viewers through the place

Hi Tom, thanks for the offer but it looks like the ol' place is sold so instead of looking for an old DVD player, I am now looking to sell the old Sony TV.....and a shed load of other stuff
