Anyone out there know much about scart cables and signals in them? My TV set seems to "broadcast" whatever I'm watching. It broadcasts this on the scart socket, so if I connect something through scart I can see it (or hear it, if I connect it to my amplifier).
This is all fine, and I guess most sets do this. What I don't like, however, is that the tv continues to broadcast the last viewed channel, even if I select the scart input on my tv set. So, say I watch channel 5, and then I switch to scart input on the tv, wanting to watch a dvd. Then I get the dvd picture on the tv, but channel 5 seems to go out through the scart and sort of "bounce" on back from the dvd player, so I get a vague but still noticable ghost picture of channel 5 :-(
I don't get this on my other scart socket. This is however connected to my gbpvr box, and it has an in/out switch on the scart contact.
As I see it, there are two reasons for this. Either it is that my gbpvr scart cable is of higher quality, or it is because it has the in/out switch :-) Which one of those would you guys guess on?
