    Anyone know of a good TV tuner box for this plasma monitor (42" philips 420p10/00)
    Its a Plasma monitor so no tuner built in.
    It has the following inputs:
    VGA (have a laptop to run through this)
    DVI
    S-Video
    CVBS? (Is this the yellow phono lead).
    Component video,

    I could just plug in a VCR and use s-video but then I dont get teletext. I also have an xbox, gamecube, ps2, dvd player, all with scart connections (Some have phono to scart).
    Any good scart switching blocks that dont get interference?

    Thanks

    Just buy the cheapest VCR in Powercity that has Teletext. Tuners are far too expensive as a standalone unit - especially when a VCR can play videos too - and you can probably use the scarts to route a couple of extra units through too.
