What connections are used from set top box to TV (such as SCART) ?
You can use the following ways to connect a set-top box to a TV: 1. SCART on STB to SCART on TV. This provides the best possible connection, with stereo sound and “RGB” highest quality connection; 2. SCART on STB to composite on TV. Older TVs without SCART connections usually have “composite” inputs, usually three “phono” sockets (often red, white and yellow). This offers stereo sound and good picture quality. You will need a special cable from a high-street retailer. 3. UHF (“aerial lead”) box to TV. This requires that the STB you choose (all Sky, MOST Freeview) has a UHF output. You will need to “tune” the TV into the box, and you will get OK pictures and only mono sound. If you are stuck with mono or poor quality sound on the TV, you can still use the SCART output (and the same cable as 2) to a separate amplifier to listen in stereo.
