There is a picture coming thru on scart, it just rolls and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it via the TV.

Annoying because it will work fine on my mates Sony Bravia TV over scart and it does look stunning!

It sounds as if your cable doesn't correctly switch the TV to RGB mode. Commodore monitors and good TVs don't need the switch voltage, so not all Amiga SCART cables have it connected.

I am going to try a scart to composite converter, see if the front TV ports have better luck.

You really don't want to use composite. If you need composite, you can get it from your A520 modulator or from the built-in connector on the A600 and A1200.

Surely the picture would be better if it used the monitor port with a scart cable and a composite converter? The scart cable is very old, perhaps a newer one would give me better luck?

I don't think your composite converter is going to help one bit, since it probably doesn't convert anything to composite at all.

Thinking about it, the TV has a VGA input...... Could that be a better option?

Generally televisions are very picky about what they accept on the VGA connector. Even though all TVs work with 15 KHz signals, they don't do that on the VGA input.
