New set up

[admin_exported]

Tomorrow(friday) i collect my new tv, home cinema, blu ray, but i have just realise that until i get skyhd(6th Jan) im stuck with a scart lead or component lead from my sky+ box to either my tv or home cinema, so whats the best way to hookit all up,

obviously

Blu ray to Home cinema using HDMI

Home cinema to tv using HDMI

Wii to home cinema using wii cables

now shall i set like this

Sky+ to home cinema using blue/green/red component leads

or Sky+ to tv using scart lead

its a bummer the home cinema doesnt have a scart socket so which is best its only for 5 weeks

Just connect the Sky+ box direct to the TV with Scart and an Optical lead to the Amp for the sound.

If there's no component out on the Sky+ box, just go RGB Scart into the TV - this is the best connection you can get (better than S-Video or composite).
