Looking at most cheap to medium range VCRs they all seem to have 2 scarts. One in/out and the other in for satellite.
It seems to me that the choices are:
1) Manually swap the in/out scart between a scart to TV or a scart to composite/projector. But this will ruin the connections over time
2) Get a splitter. But this will degrade an already cruddy composite signal. This wouldnt be so bad if the destination devices were used mutually exclusively (one or t'other). But its currently connected to a video sender which is permanantly on. Sky comes through the VCR allowing Sky and VCR to be accessed via video sender elsewhere. So switching off the sender when using the projectorisnt really an option as my taste in films is not my wife's.
3) Get a scart amp. But these are expensive and all for a cruddy image.
Have I missed an obvious solution?
