 ... then recorder then the TV connects to it using both SCART and HDMI cables. This allows me to watch my Cable TV service on the SCART loop through connection to the TV when the recorder is switched off or upscaled to 1080i via the HDMI connection when it is switched on without the need for an HD cable subscription. You could sacrifice the SCART loop through to upscale a second SCART source. S-Video connectivity together with composite video connection affords any reasonable connection to his recorder.
