Good quality - cheap price

I bought 3 not long ago.

By far the best deal around unless going for cheapo ones.

Cheers,

Co.

Cheers for the input, but i need a scart block.

Telly above the fire, trunking round to the dvd player, soon to be Xbox and surround sound, so need a block on a 3 metre length to the telly

Hence, im scratching my head a little

Yeah just smash the fecker to pieces and buy a decent set with HDMI on it, they are a lot easier to connect when your really pissed biggrin

Im sure the items you posted will work, and i thank you very very much for doing so.

However, i have a brain full of guinness, so even a light switch is proving somewhat difficult at present.

Ditto at Wilkinsons. I'm not getting ripped off by a well-known electrical retailer for a quality overpriced gold-plated item, ever again.

If your TV has a component input use that for the 360, way improved picture quality over a scart input

The problem i have is that the telly is 2.5 meters from the DVD and x box, and further from the nearest socket.

Ariel extended no problem, as is the powerlead, and a scart all running through trunking, means that i have to trun the DVD player 90 degrees to the direction it should be, and no where for nintendo and x box leads to go.

Im hoping to plumb in my surround sound at some stage over the weekend, its not looking good.
