My TV has 4 HDMI ports which are all in use but it has a spare scart port. My sky box has a spare HDMI port and spare scart port. Which is best cable to connect tv to sky box? thanks
 
SCART to SCART will work. Make sure to set the Sky box picture menu to SCART = RGB that really is the betteer option between RGB and PAL.

However, any Sky box with a HDMI socket really does work best with HDMI. If this is your main source of TV viewing then you should have a think about rigging some of those other devices connected by HDMI. Perhaps even look at a HDMI switch?

SCART doesn't support 1080i HD, or any version of HD. If you watch via SCART you'll still see a picture for the HD channels, but what you'll be watching is the SD version of it. The quality isn't the same.
