I should think so. Just connect up Freeview, video recorder or a Sky box and you should get a picture.

Hi - if you are a complete novice, the composite connection may be your best bet for a test as its a single cable

it will be a yellow phono type connection on the back of your video, dvd or freeview box and can be connected with a simple phono lead - but it wont give you the best picture. For this you the svid connection would be better over short distances.

hope this helps, good luck
