Samsung STB Connectors

I've been hunting around (with little success) for information regarding the Samsung STBs, specifically the connections on it. The reason is that I've managed to get a swop out of my existing Pace box for a Samsung this coming Thursday (fingers and everything else crosssed!) to allow for the broadband speed increases. The pace box has two scart connections; one going direct to the TV and the other to my DVD recorder and I'd like to know if the Samsung has the same. If it has only one, I'd like to re-arrange the cabling on my existing set-up (using the DVD recorders pass-through facility) to make it easier for the installer to do the swop-over with the minimum of hassle. I've already discovered that the Samsungs use a staright-through ethernet cable whereas the Paces use a x-over so I've taken the precaution of fixing that already.

Also does anyone have a link to where I can see any pictures of what the Samsung boxes look like? As I can't be at home when the swop over is done I'd like to show my wife what the installer should be putting in so she can call me if anything look wrong. Yes I know it'll almost certainly be ok but I can't help being just a little cynical that; a) someone will actually turn up, and b) have the right box.

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

John
