I should have said that my TV is 7 years old. It is a Pioneer PDP 4270XA and although it has a HDMI socket I tried connecting via HDMI but it would not work with my Foxsat or 1010s. Subsequently I have connected the 1010 via scart and the Foxsat via red/white/yellow cables, cannot remember the technical term.
In fact I am not a fraction of a techie as some of you guys, so some of it goes over the head.
Thanks for all the advice
Brian
