Have you aimed the IR sender at the Samsung box, also, what model sender is it?

Well the last digisender I had you did, how did you think it was going to control the box?

Give it a go if you haven't already

Yes - if you use HDMI on the main TV, you can connect something to the second SCART on the V+ (like a video sender) but there are no menus displayed throught the SCART. In other words, you get a picture through the video sender, but no menus.

If you happen to have the new Samsung V+ box then I believe it does display menus through the SCART's whilst the HDMI is enabled.

i have an Philips SBC VL1200 video sender. my main tv as an HDMI going to it only. But my V+ box is not set to HDMI. i get video sound and menu. anywhere around my home What you need to do is. use the top scart of the V+ box for video sender. the tv one not the video. this should solve all transmitted menu problem. the only downside i have found is, that you get nothing transmitted via the sender if you set your v+ to hdmi.
sorry Bigize dont mean to contradict you my friend

Hi, you have replied to a year old thread which I imagine is done and dusted by now, also if you have an HD box, surely you would want to view the HD channels, which isn't going to happen over Scart

weather its done or dusted or not. the as been no verification that it as been sorted. i am in no doubt. that this problem will raze its ugly head again. the reader as been pointed in the wrong direction. saying the new box solves this issue. it dose not. and i have an hd box because it also as the record function. and i use the HDMI lead as it is allot neater. so if your thread was meant to discredit me in any way. it as not...i am an electrician and been so for 20 year. and as for the scart not getting HD. i am far from thick,,,
