Not heard of this before, is it a grey imported TV set?
Please post make and model so others can avoid.
You could contact SKY and tell them you are no longer able to use their
services due to new TV set and tell them for you to continue as a customer
you would require a box with HDMi connection, at no cost of course.

most tvs still have scarts - only ones i've seen without were some even
thinner than normal samsung ones - if you want scart, get a tv with one.

I haven't noticed this trend myself. Can you give examples?
If the set has a PAL analogue tuner you could connect the SKY box via RF.
With other STBs eg Freeview you have to make sure the box has a built in modulator
the presence of an RF out socket is not in itself indicative of this.
Please note this is not an ideal solution, the picture wont be as good as RGB and
the sound through the TV will be mono.

That's simply not true.
Plenty do.
You just need to look before you buy.

Odd - all the ones I saw advertised when I was recently looking, seemed
to have at least one. In fact I wouldn't even consider one without a
scart.

Perhaps a grammatical error rather than a factual one. I think he meant to
say that not all new TVs have a scart socket.

I didn't hear about the rules changing, at one time all TVs 20" and
above SCART sockets were mandatory.

The latest range of Sony Bravia LCDs only now have one Scart input, last
year's range had two, and my old 1996 CRT had no less than 3, so there is a
downward trend for the Scart.

but then scarts are becoming less neccesary.
on my tv,
sky box - hdmi
ps3 - hdmi
av amp - hdmi
pc - hdmi
only thing i'd use a scart for would be if i dug out an old games console.

I can confirm there are TV's now being sold without a Scart. I tell my
customers to make sure it has at least one, before buying. Changing
box for HD model is not an option for all of us, as the $KY HD boxes
need loads of signal to work properly, so are not an option down here
in Spain. Of course, unless they go up a dish size, again not a real
option.

i fail to see how a hd box needs a better signal to receive a sd channel
than a sd box does - unless it has a hideous design flaw.

Not all makes/models of receivers work as well as each other, in
fringe reception areas, beit SD or HD. I was merely pointing out that
$KY receivers have generally declined in reception quality over the
years, this is especially so with the latest ones, which of course are
HD.

The zero IF (ZIF) tuners so beloved by Pace perform badly on the continent
because of they can't handle the wide dynamic range between adjacent transponders.

The best $KY Digibox of all time (in terms of least pixelation with a
weak signal) for Spain is the Pace 2600C1.

I think they have a "proper" tuner in them, I know they have always been highly recommended.

I'm really glad of the warning. I am about to splash out two grand on a
Samsung D8000 and it hadn't occurred to me to check whether it has Scart
inputs - which it seems it doesn't, so it will be as much use as a brick
until I also get a new Sky box and Blu-ray player. I'm intending to do that
but not necessarily on the same day, and it makes me nervous not being able
to use legacy equipment such as my "old" DVD recorder.

It appears not to have a SCART but a short SCART to RGB adapter which
plugs into the "EXT 1 (RGB)" jack, see page 9 of the "Quick Guide"
linked from the support tab.

Scarts:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/led-tv/UE55D8000YUXXU-spec
. But I think Charles is right, there seems to be an adapter cable included.
My only real reservation about the TV is whether it's worth paying for a
feature-packed TV which may end up as a dumb monitor for an AV amp that has
all the same features.

modern television which does not have some way to accept a SCART
input.
