KAT5 Scart and IR Distribution

["Stuart Whyte" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

2 questions for the price of 1 here - probably directed to Keith and
Frank.

1)  My old setup was sky+ to KAT5 TX via SCART then KAT5 RX to TV.
In this config, SKY+ would "seize" control of the TV whenever it
was
switched on, without the need for me to press AV.  IF I removed the
Sky+ scart, TV would revet back to DVB.  Ive now put an AV switch in
line that uses S-Video.  So (no surprises), I have to now press AV to
access the switcher everytime the TV is switched on.  This is not
having a very high WAF at the moment, so need some sort of
resoulution.  I understand WHY this is happening, but not how to fix
it.  Is there anything that can be done to the RX for example to make
it think there is a Scart "seize" signal on its other end??

2)  Continuing with the above config, I have an rf2link
(http://www.pacelink.co.uk/rf2link.htm)
connected between the KAT 5
and Sky+.  With the addition of the switched, I would now like to add
2 IR emmiters for the DVD and switcher.  Im not interested in zoning
or anything like that, just to have the IR out of the KAT5 TX have 3
outputs.  What would I need to accomplish this, as I think a complete
FiRM setup would be an overkill.  Frank, would just a splitter do the
job??

TIA
