Has anyone any experience of using one of these?
I'd like to know how they compare to the argos 5-in splitter, if they're auto switching and are all rgb etc.

Any ideas?

No idea if it's rgb, but if it is and the scart output cable is longer than the tiny length on the argos 5way block, then you should give it a go. The argos output lead is about 1 foot long, so it JUST reaches the shelf under my TV, but it's hassle cos I have to reach right to the back of the shelf to change channels. Blocks shouldn't have an output lead. They should let you choose your own. Dumb.

Why don't you get a scart extension lead?

I have a similar looking JVC 3 socket scart splitter. The one I have is fully wired, but not switched at all, its designed to share a single video source.

If this is just a non-switched splitter get the Argos switch box instead - they do the job well.

Now I have my RGB cable from Saurian, which RGB splitter box should I get folks? Money where mouth is

Just decided to go with the Argos one as I wasn't too sure about the JVC one.

the one from argos is definitely the way to go.

Which one though... 3 way or 5 way?

Doesn't the splitter box degrade the picture quality? if not whats the argos cat number for the switch box?

I used to use one, perfect picture quality and does RGB fine.

The argos one is easy to find. Just follow the natural path for audio/video stuff and accessories.
