Hello
I used to have a great goodmans PVR that I bought in ASDA for £90 many years back..it has recently packed up and I am looking to replace it. I bought a refurb Wharfdale from AMplins and it was a nightmare- kept turning off, freezing and the menu and remote response was a joke. I then bought a HUMAX 9150. When I recieved it I noticed it doesn't have a HDMI socket. On my old PVR the difference in quality of picture was quite dramatic between scart and HDMI and also the scart always had issues with a faint 'buzz'.
I was about to sen dit back but then I have read that unless you are watching HD an HDMI isn't really needed- so is it just that I need a better scart?

It wont make much difference to SD pictures0

Did the Goodmans PVR have an upscaling feature that improved the picture quality of SD video?
The quality of a scart lead may have a small impact on picture and sound quality.0 -
My Humax looks better thru scart than if I relay it thru the DVD that does have HDMI.0
