have you fgot the phono vidoe sockets? Three holes one yellow, one red and one white? They are normally used to connect up a camcorder but you can use them o connect up DVD players.

Or you can get scart doubler, they sell them in argos. You simply plug it into a scart socket on your tv and you can connect other scart devices to this and switch between which one you want to voew. (they cost about £8)

I would have thought so, and if they dont you can take them bakc to argos for money back no questions asked. Its cheaper than buying a new tv

Doesnt the DigiBox have 2 scart connections? And generally newer videos do as well?
If so plug the DVD player into one of these and it feeds through to the TV.

I have my DVD player plugged into my Freeview box. Which is then plugged into my Video which then plugs into my TV.This is because my TV has only 1 Scart.

I did use one of those Scart doublers and the signal does get affected. I found all other devices had to be switched off or you would get colour bands across the screen.
