can pick them up cheap from the comp fairs
argus do em 4x1 +audio bout £8
there crap. i have one,
ive lost picture quality on films and when watching tv, get a better one not the cheap thing from argos
jvc do one that has 5 scarts all gold pinned, but im not sure if its rgb or not, and they dont say on their site, but you can get them in dixons and currys for about 12 quid.
if your gonna buy one make sure it's switchable so you can switch in whichever input you want at the time there much better than the ones you see with just a row of scart sockets with no switches
Get a quattro box from comp fairs (£70) full remote control scart switching 4 into 1 with audio out then take the output through a macmaster (£30 from playstationmods.com) to your video and then a normal scart from your video to the telly.
That way you get a macro free signal going through your video ;) from whatever devices you have plugged into the quattro unit.
strachan electronics in scotland offer a cheap reliable mail order service
ABC, you like the expensive stuff, dont you!
no, i had the cheap scart switchers, but a remote is far easier and less difficult for me to operate
maplins do one.. about £25 and made of tough metal, you can attach 3 devices, and switches on the front let you choose which channel to watch/record or watch and record something else etc...
i have one and it great

Gotta agree with ABCMan, I've got one of these myself (the Quattro Plus) and it's the dogs dangly bits.Quote:

More inputs & outputs than you will ever need and every single input/output can handle composite, s-video, RGB & stereo audio.
