  • Tam, if you have a look on the Techie Board at the stickies you will find the answer there ;)

    Actually I just looked so I could give you a link and it seems to be one of the topics that got lost so maybe if you try posting on that board one of the experts will help you. Lopo I think helped in the past on this topic.

    Alternatively if you can hang on until tomorrow I can pm you the bits I have written down. Best to post how many scart sockets you have from tele, freeview etc.
  • How many Scart sockets does each box have?

    You can connect Scart from Digibox to VCR to TV - kind of daisychaining - although if your boxes have more than one Scart socket there may be better options.
  • Easiest way is to connect the main aeriel into the digi box then connect RF lead from digi box to VCR then RF from VCR to TV.

    Then depending how many scarts your Digibox has:-

    One scart:- connect scart from digi to vcr and then from vcr to tv......2 scart leads required.

    Two scarts:- connect scart from digi to Vcr and another from digi to TV then one from Vcr to TV .....3 scarts required

    HTH
    Don't ask me, Im SKINT
  • Thanks everyone,

    I have two scarts on the digi,

    two scarts on the vcr,

    I have a rf?[thin black one] cable between the digi& vcr
