Xbox through Sky Box

kev_s88

does anyone know how possible it is to run my Xbox 360 through my Sky Box??? using a pretty crappy TV and theres only one scart socket in the back...would it be possible to run the Xbox 360 scart lead into the VCR scart socket on the back of the Sky Box or would i have to get some sort of scart splitter

any help is appreciated

The VCR slot is an out isn't it? Passes Sky to the VCR, not VCR to the Sky box.

You could buy a multi point scart connector - fairly cheap to get in places like power city. Plug both the Sky box and the Xbox into it, and then it into the TV. Sorted.

Having lived with the same problem for a few years, I too used a scart switch box and it worked fine.

I did get a terrible pain in the ar$e getting up to manually change the scart input, so if you can find one with a remote control all the better!

Just a thought.... there was an RF Adapter available for the original xbox. This could be fed in to the Aerial in the TV....

They could be hard to find in the shops, but ebay have some, for example this one:
