DVD recorder

Mine is a waste of space so I need a new one. Please can you tell me if it is just a matter of plugging in a new machine or will I have to do complicated tuning in and stuff?
Thanks

Yes to record off air tv programmes you will need to tune it in.
Check here with your postcode to see if you can receive Freeview in your area.

If you can, try to buy one with a digital Freeview tuner, not just an analogue one as the Govt. are going to switch off all analogue transmitters in 2012.
Freeview is really good as you can get about 30 free tv channels instead of just 5.

The main tuning is done by your Sky box. If you just plug the existing scart lead into your new recorder then your "on screen display" should give you the option of choosing scart input and away you go.
By the way I strongly suggest you buy a DVD+RW type and not a -RW type. You won't have to keep formatting the discs this way and they are easier to operate.
