Connecting freeview box to tv, dvd player and vhs player

[LadyP22]

I have a tv with only 1 scart socket. It is currently connected to a VHS player with 2 scart sockets, which can record from the TV, and also to a DVD player which has only 1 scart socket. I want to attach a freeview box, and have bought one of the scart switch boxes. However, when I connect everything together I can no longer use the VHS to record from the TV. Any suggestions, or will I have to say goodbye to my recordings?

Not ideal with only one scart on the tv
but try this setup wizard

There are available from Argos - Auto changer that will accept inputs from equipment like freeview, dvd players Playstaions etc with a single output to the tv.
To configure yours the aerial need to go into the freeview first then to video then to the TV - the TV scart lead from the Freeview into the auto changer/selector as well as inputs from your DVD player and whatever else you have.

Oops silly me - didn't read the question thoroughly -you already have a auto selector. - sorry.

try this:

-aerial into vcr.
-vcr aerial out into tv.
-reeview into vcr AV1 8put video onto av1 or ext 1 to view it or record)
-dvd into tv scart.

that shiould be fine without th need for switch boxes etc.

don't forget tune the tv into the vcr !
