I bought the Digihome box for my Mum. I didn't have a spare scart lead, and just plugged it into the co-ax cable that came out of the video. When I switched on the electricity a green light came on instead of the red light the instructions said would come on. Nothing happened when I switched on the TV. Do these things normally need to be connected to the TV with a scart as well as the co-ax cable, or should it work with just the co-ax? And do they need to be connected directly to the aerial or is it OK to have them in series with the video. We have a DVD player as well, connected to the TV through the scart, while the video normally goes into the TV through the co-ax socket as the TV has one scart socket. I thought when I switched all the things on, the signal from the set-top box would take over the whole TV just as the DVD player does, and my DVD recorder with integrated Freeview does. The instructions mention nothing about needing a scart lead, or having to tune TV to it. Help?

You do need a scart but i have to say i bought a freeview box from argos and i checked my post code to make sure it worked in my area, it said it would work so i bought one and it didn't work, argos refused to take it back. So be wary of buying things like freeview boxes from them.

Products from Digihome, Bush, Goodmans, Logik, Cyberhome, Proline, etc, etc, etc are cheap for a reason.
You have found out the reason...
Remember, 'Buy cheap, buy twice.'
