Thanks Nick & redcane

It looks like either solution you proposed is going to work as I can 
either get a scart adapter with both s-video & rca plugs or a scart 
cable with both s-video and rca cables.

Now, for Aussie Foxtel Digital Satellite users - what do you connect the 
STB to the TV card with? I am looking at getting a Hauppage 150 but as I 
understand it the 150 only has a TV aerial type connector, but I would 
like to ask if there are any alternative cards that would accept a 
scart-to-something so I could use the VCR scart connector of the Foxtel 
STB (it is Pace DS420)

Cheers
Bruce
