Default RCA to HDMI - this simple?

John Rumm brought next idea :

The kitchen TV has been showing signs of increasing illness and
yesterday it sadly died, its internal fuse had blown. I pulled it apart
to take a look, replaced the fuse and found the screen driver sub board
had over heated - so its scrap.

The good part of that TV was that it had both SCART for the DVB input
and RCA for the camera which watches the front of the house and it was
easy to switch between them. Looking for a replacement, I wasn't able to
match its inputs, but settled on a 1xSCART, 2xHDMI TV. So I now need to
find some means to use an HDMI input via which to feed an RCA from the
camera.

Is it as simple as buying this item on ebay
eBay item number: 360760234853 - please?


almost certainly not...

I thought it was much more complex than that..



Could you clarify what you mean by DVB input?

Basically your RCA feed needs to go into the scart.


Sorry not its not DVB, its I think what is called a Freeview PVR. Its a
set top Freeview receiver with a HDD installed upon which it can record
and timeshift programs. Its only output is SCART.

I think it is solved anyway - I have found a more detailed spec which
suggests the TV actually has 1xSCART, 2xHDMI, 1xUSB and RCA inputs.

Its a SAMSUNG UE19F4000.

Thanks for the help and sorry about the confusion.
