Please help! 
What is the best way to connect the TV to the Freeview PVR, but also include the old VCR so that I can still record on that (presumabley just from analogue) when necessary?
Each component has two scart sockets.
I can connect the video for cassette playback, but don't seem to be able to tune channels in - I got one in today, but could not find any more and my head is now exploding with befuddlement!!! I can do computers ok, but I am totally boggled by TVs!!!! :rotfl:
Thanks for your time!!! :T

SCART cables: VCR >>>PVR >>>TV
Aerial Lead: Aerial>>>PVR>>>VCR>>>TV.
Note: You may have to put the PVR on standby before the VCR will be visible on the TV.
You should be able to record from the PVR by setting the VCR input to AV.That gum you like is coming back in style.0
