My main Sky Q box is connected via HDMI to my main TV and is working fine.
However, I have got 2 x new Sky Q miniboxes but one TV only has a only a scart outlet and other only a USB.
Is there a USB to HDMI and Scart to HDMI convertor out there? Aware that they must be HDCP V2.2 compatable too...

Hi @Mike1234
Assume the minis came from Sky and that you have the monthly Sky Q Multiscreen subscription.
There are HDMI to Scart connectors but it will be unlikely that they will work because of the HDCP protection. Quality anyway will be abysmal with Scart and not really worth considering
There are Composite AV outputs on Q minis. These would need RCA phono connections on the TV.
A Cable such as the following is known to work.

Yes, boxes are all from Sky. Dissapointing as Sky are literally forcing the customer to use SKY Q as their SKY HD boxes are beign phased out...

hi @Mike1234
Just to echo what @oldfella says the cable he suggests is suitable and we know other similar looking cables may be wired differently - I have 2 cables neither are the Nokia one & one works but with phono outputs a different way round (e.g. video from the Red Right audio & Right Audio from the yelloow video) & the other lead has the 'ground' in a different place making it totally unsuitable.
Are you sure the TV with a USB connecton does not have any HDMI (or other) inputs ? - I have never heard of a TV with a USB as a video input as such - just for connecting devices & all the TVs I have known with USB connections also have at least one HDMI - perhaps you could tell us the make & model ?
Are you
