You won't find a VCR with a SCART connection, SCART is a european connector. You'll most likely have to use a component connection instead (green, red and blue connectors) but should end up with the same result.

I got my tv to work through a set top box with a scart to red/white/yelloe cable convertor.

Hello
SCART is European but as he has a European TV the TV has SCARTs. It is usually easy to get a cable with a SCART plug on one ends and Phone plugs on the other end (usually Yellow, white, Red e.g. video, left and right sound).
some think like this:

An HD LCD will almost certainly have component inputs so why bother with SCART at all? Just use the component output of a VCR (or DVD player, or PS3 or whatever) straight into the component input on the TV.
Also, I'd recommend getting a proper digibox and getting the Shaw digital channels, much better quality picture (although the programmes are still rubbish
). You quite often see them 2nd hand on craigslist/kijijijijijiji or they are only $100 or so brand new from Shaw.
