Looking for some help. I have A new TV which is HD ready and has 2x Scart and 2x HDMI ports.

I have Telwest box which is connected to DVD recorder via Scart (then to Old TV) I have Tewlwest Box connected via Scart (to Old TV). Both working fine. Swapped over TV's today and had everything working fine via Scart and coax. I then went through all instructions about HDMI cable and connection and nothing. I tried with the Scart lead connected and without. (the instructions don't say which way). I get no picture when HDMI channel only and when using both Telewest box says can't find any HDTV or can't find HDTV signal.

Anybody help????

Thanks in advance

To get HD channels, you need an HD decoder (set top box) as well as a HD TV. I assume your STB does not support HD.

It does. I followed the instructions on how to access HDTV via the set top box and that's how I know it aint working (it's supposed to give you a test picture first which it doesn't). Plus Telewest provided the cables.

Thanks Guys it's sorted, just wasn't brave enough to accept the settings when the box only showed a blank screen - despite what the instructions said. Telewest engineer did exactly what I did and the clicked OK where I bottled out and hey presto.
