TV, DVD recorder and VCR connections
2 Answers
How do you connect and tune in a TV with built-in free view, a hard drive DVD Recorder with an analogue and a digital tuners and a VCR?
I wish to record one channel while watching another and use the VCR to transfer my tapes onto the DVD recorder's hard drive and then onto discs.

I'd keep it simple and have a viewing setup that works such as :-
Aerial in & out of dvdr into tv
Scart out of dvd to tv (gives better pic quality for watching dvds)
Then when you need to dub vhs I'd connect the vcr to the dvd scart in. You should be able to see and hear what you are dubbing via the dvd.
