    your original setup was correct, you just needed to choose the AV1 or AV2 channel on the TV depending on which scart socket you had used on the TV

    There is only 1 scart on the tv and 1 on the digi box,
    When I have AV1 on, I can get sound clear as anything and when I change channels on the digi box the sound changes as well.
    I am just getting a blue screen on AV1 :eek:

    I would say that the tv is ok as we are getting a picture when the freeview is off, it is only when the freeview is turned on. It just gives sound out no visiual.

    I might buy a cheap freeview tomorrow and try that?
