I'm normally pretty good at this! It has 2 scart sockets at the back, one says TV, and the other DVD. On my old TV, it picked up as soon as I plug the scart cable in, but its different on this one, plus there's two sockets instead of one, compared to my old TV. But anyway, I've tried connecting the cable to both TV and DVD and tuning it in - even though I don't have to..nothing, zilch! By the way, SKY works fine because I have a TV Link and the other room's TV works fine, so there's a connection problem here.
Please help!! I want to watch SKY!!!

One very important thing to look for is that the scart lead comes from the scart socket marked TV on the Sky box and goes to the TV port on your new TV. If it doesn't auto pick up the sky picture, use your new TV remote to select the AV channel (displayed as AV1 or EXT 1 or even L1 on the screen) by pressing the TV/AV button which is sometimes marked by a square with an arrow entering it

Not all equipment supports the 'auto switching' feature that scart equipment offers, I have a feeling some cheaper scart cables don't allow it either, though any new TV would be guaranteed to allow it I would have thought.
Make sure the the scarts are pushed in firmly. I'm not sure what output the TV link runs through (the other scart socket on the sky box?) unplug it anyway - cut out any other unessacary equipment that is connected to your decoder, VCR etc.., just go straight from the box to the TV, if it still doesn't switch,use the button on the remote control (The image is usually a square with an arrow pointing into it) to switch between the inputs on the TV. If that doesn't work, try a new lead. Other than that, I can't think what else you could do, as you said, you can't exactly tune it in!

This will sound very stupid but I was a telly engineer,
Make sure the scart at both ends are pushed firmly in as the 21st pin in the scart is the last one to make contact.
