Setting up a vcr with a digibox

[edwardcasbon1]

Hi all,

Could someone just run through how I would set up a vcr with a digibox so that the vcr can record digital channels?

My mum has offered my services to someone, without consulting me, and I have not set up a vcr before. Im sure it cannot be that hard?

Any guides or anything?

Whats the best way to do it? I was thinking, make sure that the digibox outputs RF into the vcr, set channel 6 (for example) on the vcr to show the digital channel, then when wanting to record digital, record channel 6.

That sound about right?

Please help,

Thanks

what do you do when wanting to record digital then? How do you tell the vcr to record from the vcr's input?

Yeh sorted. The reason why it wasnt recording sky was because it didnt have a connection between the digi box and the vcr. I simply connected a scart lead and everything worked. Just have to put it on a1 to record sky.

Easy as pie really. Was just worrying that i wouldnt be able to figure it out and look stupid.

Cheers for the help ppl
