Has anyone managed to solder a VGA 2 SCART cable that will cause the TV to auto switch to that connection when switched on. I have an s-video to scart lead at the moment which doesn't so I'd like to kill 2 birds with one stone and improve the picture and cause the TV to switch over to myth automatically. Danny
