Scart TV aerial

Just wondered if anyone knew if there was a TV aerial that had a scart connector ? As I remember it they all had AV connectors. Can you get scart->av connectors ?

Thanks in advance.
 
try these guys - they have loads of scart related stuff - i'm not really sure what exactly you're looking for.....[broken link removed]
 
As far as I understand the SCART input only carries a single A/V stream and can't be tuned like a regular coax input (from an aerial/cable). That was the motivation behind SCART - you don't have to tune the signal in - it's just there. What you're looking for is some kind of external tuner box with a SCART output that you can plug into your TV. Something like this.

Edit: No good. That only has a VGA output (so you can connect it to a PC monitor). But you get the idea of what you're looking for.
 
What Decani said, there is no direct way to convert a regular RF signal to SCART; I never heard of a box that does....
 
I'm guessing he's talking about converting the male coax connector on the end of a TV aerial into a SCART so he can plug it into his TV (presumably his aerial/coax input is hosed). Even if there was such a beast, you will not be able to tune in any channels. That's not how the SCART socket and signalling works. You're effectively trying to plug a coat hanger into your socket.
 
Here is the problem. I'm trying to watch TV in two different rooms. I have tried the digi senders and although they work due to my wireless network I have TV reception problems.

I have a sky box and I feed the rf signal throughout the house. So whatever I watch on one tv I watch on the other. What I wanted to do was to hook an aerial to the second tv so I could switch to terrestrial channels and the feed from the sky box. To my knowledge all aerials feed to the AV input on the tv and from the earlier replies it seems this is so as this is tuneable where scart is not. So If I could go from rf out on the sky box and convert the signal to scart on the second tv I could then hook up an aerial also. Make sense ?
 
Heres a solution we made earlier ... :)

Plug the aerial into the "Aerial In" on the Sky box and you will be able to tune all the channels on the other tellies fed by the Sky's RF output. You'll end up with (for example) 5 channels: 1-> RTE 1 (from aerial), 2-> RTE2 (as before), 3-> TV3 (as before), 4-> TG4 (as before) and voila! 5-> Sky, albeit the same channel as the other rooms -> this will get over your wireless problems as well...
 
Thanks Spock. Just so I have it correctly - if I plug the aerial into the "aerial in" both the sky channels and the terrestrial go via the rf out signal ?
