Just great

The SCART switch I bought from Argos doesn't recognise when the GameCube is plugged into it - the image appears for 1/20 of a second then vanishes.  Which is just silly, as the old £5 one worked fine.

And the MediaMVP I picked up doesn't work at all.  No lights, no signal, not even a flashing on the hub where the ethernet is plugged in.

Is it too much to expect that things would work when you plug them in?

well my scart switcher definitely recognises the gamecube. Up until last week I'd never attached the cube to it, but I had an unquenchable urge to bop the bongos on the big tv so hooked it up and had a drunken evening with Donkey Konga. Now I need to decide whether to buy Donkey Konga 2. Want to borrow my GC lead to see if it makes a difference? Could be your lead rather than your scart switch?

Oooh let me know if Donkey Konga 2 is worth getting! They appear to have taken my Britney suggestion at least. :)

You're as much a fanboy as me. I will try to resist but if I walk past a shop to,orrow it may be difficult... I had vowed not to buy anything else till I'd finished Pikmin2
