Connecting Anything To Sky Digibox

Look alot of people out there are mis-informed with regards to connecting video recorders or dvd recorders to their sky box.

Well listen up::

IGNORE YOUR VIDEO AND DVD RECORDER SET UP INSTRUCTIONS.

This is how you do it correctly.

1) CONNECT AERIAL INTO RF IN ON YOUR SKY BOX

2) CONNECT RF LEAD FROM RF OUT ON SKY BOX INTO RF IN ON VIDEO OR DVD RECORDER

3 CONNECT RF LEAD FROM RF OUT ON VIDEO OR DVD RECORDER INTO AERIAL SOCKET ON THE BACK OF YOUR TV AND THEN TUNE IN DVD RECORDER OR VIDEO ONTO A CHANNEL ON YOUR TV.

4) YOU CAN CONNECT SCART LEADS FROM BOTH SKY TO DVD OR VCR AND SKY TO TV THIS WILL MEAN YOU CAN WATCH SKY USING THE RGB FUNCTION THROUGH YOUR TV AND YOU WILL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE PICTURE WISE AS IT WILL B ALOT SHARPER. THIS IS DONE THE FOLLOWING WAY, PUT A SCART LEAD FROM AV1 FROM TV TO TV SCART ON SKY BOX THEN PUT A SCART LEAD FROM SKY VIDEO OUT TO TV IN SCART ON DVD OR VCR

5) THEN GO TO SERVICES ON SKY AND THEN SET UP THEN GO TO PICTURE SETTINGS AND CHANGE THE VIDEO OUT FROM PAL TO RGB THEN THE SCREEN WILL FLICKER AND YOU WILL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
