cheers daveh, theres one yellow and one green component video output, my component cables are red and blue, which goes to which? ta...

 

[daveh75]

It's the top 3 outputs on the Humax you want, marked Y Pb Pr. The bottom 3 are composite video(yellow) and L and R audio(red and white)

[daveh75]

ah, no bother daveh, ill just use scart for a couple of days so

 

[daveh75]

If you've got more than one pair of spare I/Cs just use 1 1/2 pairs, if that makes sense.

Yes you can. Remember, you will also need audio cables as component is video only. Also, don't get mixed up with composite cables - component is red, green and blue. You can get some brilliant cables on eBay for under £20 as hdmi has taken over.

On a similar theme, does anyone Know whether you can scart a Humax HD Freesat receiver to an old CRT TV and be able to use the SD iPlayer function (or can this only be achieved through an HDMI connection)? I have emailed Humax with this question, but did not get any response.

I would be grateful for any help

Strictly speaking they're audio I/Cs, but they'll carry component video no problem as will composite cables...Don't waste your money on 'component' cables max, especially as it's a short term solution.
