The cable which connects to my monitor goes from the VGA port and stereo phonos on the back of the Amiga into a scart socket on the monitor so I assumed I would be able to plug that straight into my TV but that didn't work so in order to connect via scart to a regular TV I suppose you're telling me I need to get an A1200 which has a composite socket.


No, a cable like the one you have should be fine.  The problem with these cables is that they are not always completely wired - so it may be sending out RGB through the scart, but not composite.  Most TVs only have one scart capable of RGB, so if yours has more than one scart socket, try the other one.

The other option is to get a new scart lead (you should be able to make one up or adapt yours using the information here), or buy a new TV. :evilgrin:
