    Is it still possible to get receiver boxes that have SCART inputs?

    I'd like to Hook up my Super Famicom and Saturn up via a Scart cable, but all the moderm receiver boxes I've seen so far have plenty of HDMI and composite inputs, but I am yet to come across one with a Scart input.

    Any suggestions? (Even if it means importing one from the UK).

    What connection are you using for your TV?

    My set mainly has HDMI ports, so I'd like to get a reciever to send everything through a HDMI signal cable.

    Even if you find a (Sky?) receiver with SCART ports on it, it'd have to be converting from analogue to digital, and you can bet it'd do a piss poor job, especially for old games. Keep an old CRT around for the SCART consoles, or invest in a decent upscaler (the XRGB2 seems to be the popular choice). There's no easy and cheap fix for this without making everything look nasty.

    No modern AV recievers have scart on them, very few ever did there was a Pioneer about 5 years back that did but of course its quite outdated now.

    Beware of the delay caused by transcoding.
