All well and good taking away features that people love and use if VM had provided a sensible replacement, like Sky have done with Sky mini.

Oh, do give it a rest! If you don't like it, why are you still here? After all, Sky is so wonderful :rolleyes:

Exactly, SCART maybe old technology but many like me distribute TV around the house on a modulator for older low res TVs or would like to use 576i recorders. All previous boxes have supported this. Seems to me the only positive thing is more tuners for those with square eyes. Otherwise it's many steps backward. POS personified.

Yes, I know, Mister Q, but why so negative?

There are advantages and disadvantages of being with Sky or Virgin Media. Most on this forum are with Virgin by choice and it does seem that Virgin can do nothing right in your eyes. Hence, why I asked the question - why are you still with Virgin?

OK so does that mean copying recordings is now not allowed

I am still with Virgin because they kept calling me back after I left and gave me factually incorrect information that eventually persuaded me to give them one last chance, so I still have a few months left to go on a contract. Hopefully there will be a price rise in February so I can leave earlier, as I have said previously. I have participated in discussions here to determine if V6 has anything to offer me. If I had something positive to say I would say it. I have responded to people asking questions by providing helpful answers. I do not ridicule other peoples opinions or make jokes about mental health as other people have done and later admitted to finding "funny". Sorry you keep wanting to take sensible discussions offtrack. I hope I have answered your question?

If when my old VHD box goes belly up that the only TV offering is the V6 then it's bye bye Virgin.

[QUOTE=mackemsrule;35874153]I'll get back onto them tomorrow, thanksJst

Just been back on the phone and the lady said that the price given was correct for being on the lower bb speed, and it was £50 less if you are on the larger 200mb speed package. The fella who placed my order bumped my speed up and gave me a £50cr to cover this, I told her people were saying it was still wrong and she went and checked and said she couldn't change the order so she has given me another £50 credit off my bill due this month, so only paying £30+ for this month, so thanks everyone

Doesn't Macrovison copy protection prevent that anyway?

Hence the need for the HDMI splitter, which splits(ie duplicates) the HDMI signal into 2( or more depending on the splitter) separate HDMI signals. Eg You could have 2 TVs showing the same picture from a single HDMI output.

The HDMI to RCA converters seem to cost less than £10.

Would a HDMI splitter work?

I believe it's the entertainment industry that has, for several years, been putting pressure on the equipment manufacturers to phase scart out. They want all connectors to be a copy protected type, and therefore, HDMI.
