However, the Telewest box has a second Scart connector. There's a
fighting chance that you can connect the DVD player to that - with a
Scart cable - and tell the Telewest box to use its external Scart
input, and transmit the signal to the TV. The TV itself would have to
be set up in the same way as when it's normally receiving a signal from
the Telewest box.


The second SCART on the STB is likely for a VCR, so you should be able to
use it with a DVD - provided the DVD is set to composite output.


IIRC the scart on the Vbox supports RGB pass-through so just connecting a
second fully connected RGB scart cable between the Vbox and the DVD should
work (its the same as for sky boxes).
No fiddling with the Vbox remote should be required as turning the DVD on
will automatically route it through the Vbox to the TV (unless someone has
been fiddling with the remote).
