Setting up sky, tv and video

Inactive

Post #2 explained things clearly enough surely?

If you cannot follow the straightforward explanation at post #2, then perhaps you should consider getting someone to help you.

Most problems would stem from the fact your tv only has one scart socket. However this should work.

1) There is a scart socket marked 'TV' on the Sky box. Plug a scart cable betwen this socket and your tv socket.

2) There is a scart socket marked 'VCR' on the Sky box. Plug a scart lead between this and the socket marked 'AV1' on your VCR.

3)To record a programme off Sky, select the channel on the Sky box you wish to record. On the VCR select the input called AV1. Press record!

3) To play back your recording press play. The VCR signal should pass back through the Sky box's VCR scart and output through the Sky box's TV scart and play on your tv.

If you only have one single tuner Sky Box then I guess you can only record what you are watching. Is that correct?

But limited, sadly I have a freesat and a sky+ and can't have both apparently

Hi,

why do you need both, not enough on Sky?

Anyway, you could maybe try one of these for Sky/freesat connection.
