To my utter amasement i find in the back of my new HD VM box and in my new HD TV, VM have used a SCART as a connection!! HORROR!
Now call me stupid, but if i order a new Merc i wouldnt have a Scoda engine so why use the SCART????
I follow the instructions online to connect MY HDMI lead but no joy. So i call VM, VM in India, they say i need VM HDMI leads which will arrive in 7/10 days....... well thank you VM!!!
Anyone shed some light on this MAD MAD situation?

An HDMI lead is an HDMI lead, there is no difference in the ones supplied by VM.
My installer was quite happy to use my HDMI lead when he installed our V+ box.
Have you tried what is outlined here

Q: How do I set the V+ output to HDMI? I've tried but it keeps going back to SCART.
A: There's a knack to this. After you've selected HDMI output from the Settings menu, the box does a test to make sure you really can see HDMI. You need to press the 'Text' key on the remote during the test, otherwise it will revert to SCART output after a few seconds. This is to try to stop you accidentally putting the box in HDMI mode when you haven't got an HDMI telly - but see below if you still manage!
