Scart won't pass HD. It is still useful for old equipment but is being killed off by the industry.


I agree on the 4k bit; have posted similar articles myself. But HDR is worth it and only available on 4k TVs.
But why pay for a premium box and/or a premium TV package to only be able to watch SD channels? Just because the new box is faster and you can record a million hours of blurry SD programmes.

To get the best value out of the V6 you need a 4K tv connected by HDMI cable, not some chonky tv connected by SCART. I understand not everyone will have a 4K tv yet, but as a minimum you need a HD tv which are out there in abundance.

The point I'm trying to make is about getting the most out of the v6, not about what people can/cannot afford.

You wouldn't buy a Blu-ray player just to play normal DVDs.. The same applies to the V6.
