If your main TV has an HDMI socket, you could connect the Virgin box using that instead, which would free up the SCART socket.

Otherwise you'll need to buy a SCART splitter. Something like this

Here you go:

Been using that for 3 years and it's never broken.

Picture quality is as you'd expect. You can select any channel frequency you like with the fiddly things on the back.

I have been using one for three years also, it does a great job to. I have a couple of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerMid-Rem...ess+controller to control the box from the bedroom.

That looks good. I like not being able to control it in a way tho as it means I have to get out of bed at weekends.

Thanks for your reply guys. I think I will try the HDMI cable.

Using the Scart on a SA V+ box will mean that you wont get the overlays on the second TV. With the Tivo you do get the overlays using the same set up.

Alternatively if your second TV is HD ready or full HD try a wireless HDMI bridge.
