    How long is the scart lead, most are hidden behind the tv anyway ?

    As for wireless, digisenders are great for sharing pictures between rooms but I wouldn't use one to replace a scart lead.

    Wireless dont (at least they didnt unless they make them now) send RGB scart signals. They only send 'composite' (Which is basic video), and so is quite a deterioration in signal
    Id stick with a good quality scart lead personally ('Thor' are a top make, and pretty cheap on ebay)
    :idea:

    It's about 3m, the tv is hanging on a wall so the scarts at the moment are just drooping down to the sky/dvd.

    Same here...Try bundling them together (ty-rap) as a single drop lead and then down one side of the TV, near the curtains perhaps. Until I find a better solution..

    Unless you've got solid walls just put the cables through the wall behind the tv and out at the bottom behind the sky box.

    If the cable appears to be a distracting problem then perhaps watch more interesting television programming. I know MSE Martin has a show.
    False ceilings have become a fact to hide services in office buildings. Perhaps we are going to need false walls to conceal wires for wall mounted AV fittings in the home.
