...Yeah.

OK.

A bit random. But, re-designing my room. Got a 28" TV, with two SCART sockets. Have a Sky Digibox (with an in SCART and out, as well as the usual TV arial wire), a Sony DVD player (with 2 full RGB sockets, and a single SCART out) and my PS2 - SCART.

Problem is, I want them all connected via SCART, but I don't want a silly little SCART switch.

Now, you know how the TV automatically 'homes in' on anything connected and switched on (via SCART), well, how could I chose which has priority - eg. Sky and DVD are connected and switched on, which one comes up? - ?

See, old system was simply plugging the PS2 into my DVD player, but in general I have them all on... And I wanna just hop between them!

You could also use the 2nd scart on your tv to have 1 appliance soley plugged into it, i would stick the dvd in by itself, sometimes they dont have a real standby and just switch off completely.

You should be able to just go

PS2 scart> DVD player scart> Sky box scart> TV

That way as long as everything else is on standby any appliance which isnt on standby will be displayed on the tv.
