Anyone Know If This Exists?


Recommended Posts

Hi.

Got an old but still good HP 20" LCD monitor. Its a VGA one with built in speakers.

I was wondering if I could use it in the kitchen and hook it up to a freeview STB (scart or composite) and an old standard def satellite box (HDMI, scart or composite)

Is there such a switchbox?

Thanks [emoji4]

I'm not sure, but I think this may do the job

Had a look.

It will certainly allow my satellite to be connected.

I was hoping I could buy a one box solution switchbox. Plug both into box then box into monitor.

I'm beginning to think such a box doesn't exist [emoji20]

Thanks.

I maybe wrong or missing the point, but if it's an old sky satellite box does it not give freeview channels even when subscription has lapsed?

No, its a Silvercrest box. Dish is pointing 13E to pick up Italian TV. This is why I need the Freeview box too.

An all in one switchbox would be better as its going in the kitchen. less mess.

Used to have one similar to this, except it had both scart and composite.

I took a look online.

I'd forgotten about cpc.

Found one switchbox but at £384 I think I'll give it a miss [emoji20]

Very wise my friend. I'm looking at a 24" hdmi benQ monitor for my microscope camera at present only £133 & it has speakers.
