Hi, i have a philips freevent 7500 with built in tv tuner. Can someone help me by telling me what to do to connect it up to my sky box & what cables i need? Help would be much appreciated.

Is this freevent a laptop? (I couldnt find much on google)
If you can see yellow, white and red connections, you can simply get a scart to RCA adaptor that will do it...
Or, if it only had aerial input, you will need to find out the model no of your sky box, to see if it has tv out via rf..
sorry if this is confusing.. maybe you could supply a bit more info..

Hi thanks for the reply. If you have a look at the following link you will be able to see the product
Philips HEPC 7500 Desktop PC. Cheap Philips home and office computers from PC World.

But i think what you mentioned might just do the trick hopefully.

ah right,
do you have yellow,white and red inputs on the back of it?

Hi, right there is no red, white outputs on the back. All i can see is a video output and a tv in (which seems to be covered up). It came with a cable that fits in the video out socket with has four leads coming from it, green, red, blue and a black. Sorry for being so useless in my discription. Any other ideas?

when you say tv in is covered, do you mean just with something that will come off, or covered up as if your model doesnt have it?? do you have an antenna input for the tuner???
also, that lead will be for connecting the computer to an hd ready tv (red green blue leads are component video, and black is digital audio)
