recording video from freeview

I bought a panasonic television with intergrated freeview recently but I can't seem to record any programmes on to our matsui video, although we can watch prerecorded tapes, is it possible to record programmes? or is there a site that covers this?
thanks

  • My dad has a Sanyo freeview telly and he has a scart connection to the video. He then has to select the (AV1) button on the remote control of the video to select the scart to record what being output from the telly to the video.

    Hope this helps.

    I have freeview and a matsui vcr. Like karlos says, put the tv onto the digital channel you want to record and then press the 'av' button on the matsui remote. 'au' will come up on the vcr screen and then press 'record'

    you also need to go into the TV setup menu to ensure teh scart you are using is set to output the Freeview/Digital signal, also I assume you are recording whilst the TV is switched on currently? There are further steps if you are trying to record whilst TV is in standby mode
  • thanks I will have a look when I can
