Blu-ray on HD-TV Sets? - Blu-ray Forum

I live in the UK. Are HDMI inputs what we call AV or Scart inputs in the UK?

(The inputs with 16-pins, I think)

they are different but they are probably closest to a scart input.

No it's a separate kind of connector, though vaguely shaped like a mini-scart.

Yes - that's it. I beileve that HDMI is setting itself up as a worldwide standard. SCART is weird - only European as far as I know.

yeah scart is mainly in europe though I think it might be in some other pal supported countries possibly parts of asia. HDMI is going to be international as DVI already is.

Thanks for the help guys.

I went in today to look at the TV at Currys/Comet (would never buy from them though - too hard!).

It in fact has 2 HDMI connections not 1 as the online info says. So thats some good news.
