    When I select Input on the TV remote the Humax is AV1 and the Wii is AV2.

    If the Humax does allow pass through - ie the signal from the DVD passes through the scart lead to the Humax box and then through the scart to the TV - you need to have the Humax box in standby when you watch the DVD. If you have the Humax box switched on it will take priority over the DVD player.

    Have you tried this?

    Thanks for the tip!

    Yes, my Humax is the 9150 so no HDMI.

    Then down to the pound shop you go...job done
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Sorry, thought she meant no HDMI cable supplied on the 9150...glad I bought the 9300.

    Unless you're a big time DVD viewer, I'd rather swap the SCART cables round (at the back of the TV) than watch the DVD over the yellow white and red plugs, SCART is capable of much better quality.
