Using a coaxial aerial into a scart socket
My coaxial aerial plug on the back of the tv is damaged, would i be able to connect my tv aerial (for freeview) into a scart socket (via adaptor) instead ?

Re: Using a coaxial aerial into a scart socket
Simple answer is NO.. SCART has no provision for an RF input and is composite/RGB signals only
PS..welcome to the forum, I'll move your post to the correct section

Yes, something like this

Or you could get a full-size freeview set-top box.
(Did you miss the "via adaptor" bit, Kymmy?)

Re: Using a coaxial aerial into a scart socket
What you could do though is buy a cheap freeview box put the aerial into that and connect to tv using scart. Cheaper than buying a new tv or getting it repaired.

Re: Using a coaxial aerial into a scart socket
Thanks, this could be the answer ! the freeview is built into the tv so im thinking this the only way to be able to watch freeview, the other option is to get it repaired but its gonna cost too much and the warranty doesnt cover accidental damage.

Re: Using a coaxial aerial into a scart socket
Cheap freeview boxes are around £15. Or perhaps you could try your home contents insurance as this is there for accidents.

Check for any excess on your home insurance as £100 + is very common now.
