We have a number of TV's in our house, all old infact at least 2 are from before we married (1988) and have been repaired (as they can be) on numerous occasions. We have this wonderful man who does the repairs and infact bought 2 TV's from him for the girls.

The problem:-

Only the TV in the lounge has a scart socket so we have a freeview box plugged in there. We used to have a freeview box plugged in, in the kitchen but it broke. I can't find a freeview box that doesn't need a scart socket? I even bought an arieal thing with 3 plugs (red, white and yellow I think) but we don't have the holes for them in any of the other TV's.

My question:
Does this mean I have to ditch repairable Tv's for expensive, difficult to repair TV's just to watch digital TV?????? or am I plugging in the things incorrectly????

Your help is greatly appreciated

i know you can get converters from the three pins to scart leads and vice verser. i wonder if they do something similar you could use?

BTW - have you checked there isn't a hidden panel with any sockets urking behind? they won't have scarts, i'm sure, but they might have the 3 pins.
