Wow this seems to have set the cat among the pigeons, just to confuse the issue,I was receiving and recording before I moved house, at the old place, only a quarter of a mile away, I could record through DVD but watch through Freeview box, set to AV3. But Freeview box doesn't want to work at new address (I live in Devon). If I were to purchase a Freepay (not Freeview) box would this sort the problem.
Thank you all for your input, most grateful....now for Round 2 ding!ding!
