    Hello...

    I had my Sky box going through my DVDR player and then had an HDMI cable to the TV.. My DVDR player seems to be bust and doesn't see that the Sky is connected to it anymore.. I have the DVD player about a year so I don't have any return.

    Since this has happened I have to put my Sky via scart to my TV and the picture is very poor especially for matches.. Granted it wasn't top quality going through the DVD player but without the DVD player it's a lot worse.

    I have a Philips 42" 5 series Full HD tv..

    Is there any point in buying an scart to HDMI upscaler like this one?

    Have you tried getting in touch with the manufacturer of the DVDR or the shop where you bought it? Unless you dropped the player or misused it your consumer rights cover you for longer than the normal 1 year warranty period, basically all goods especially electronics have a life cycle that they are expected to last for through normal wear and tear.

    I suggest that you give the shop you bought it from a call to fix/replace the DVD player as the current set up you have would probably be the best set up for upscaling the picture from the SKY box without having to buy an upscaler......
