First post here.
I have my first PVR, a Humax HDR-2000T, just two days now. Still have an old lump CRT TV lol, so connected with scart.
But first question is, the supplied Ethernet cable is too short (looks like I'll need 5m). What I need to know is exactly what type of cable to get. Looking online there's Cat5e and Cat6 UTP and FTP?? patch cables and also crossover cables. This is for a connection between my router and the Humax. I don't have a great internet connection so think a cable connection maybe best.
Second question. We want to keep our VCR but the scarts are used up on the TV. Was thinking about getting a switchable adaptor. We always had to have the VCR coax out back to the TV analogue socket to make it work. I have remade that connection, but seems to still need scart. Will a switchable adaptor and a second scart cable do this?
Thank you.
