I have bought a scart splitter of ebay as I am trying to connect my xbox 360 and Sky Digital box to the TV at the same time. To save me changing the scarts around each time i want to use either of them.

I have plugged the scart splitter into the back of the tv and then put the Xbox 360 and sky digi scarts into the splitter box, but this causes picture to be lost. When I have only one of them in the splitter box, it works fine.

Both are going through my AV Channel, so I guess this is xcaudsing the issue. But any ideas how I can rectify this?

Any help would be much appreciated

I have my 360 and PC going into a monitor through a VGA splitter. When my 360 is plugged in (not even powered on), I can't get anything on the screen from the PC. Leave the 360 scart and digibox scart connected as you usually would, but plug out the 360 at the socket. Does it work like that?

Let me state I have never done what you want to do:

However, does the splitter have a switch perhaps as to which signal it should respect?

Or if you could give us the name of the splitter and model number we might be able to help by looking at the specs

That was my initial thought.

If not, you have a splitter like Dotsy's, where the active signal will be selected (or if both sources are active, one should be predominant).

If you are getting interference / signal loss, try to ensure the source that you aren't using is completely powered off rather than on standby (or as Dotsy suggests, unplug it).

Interference can also be caused by the positioning of components.

Also, how many SCART sockets does your TV have?
Not all SCART sockets are the same - try a different socket perhaps.

yeah i had the same problem with my cheapo splitter.

basically one of the appliances needs to be turned off at the mains, not just on standby or you'll get interferance.
