carosio   186 #2 Posted December 6, 2018 Can you clarify what the set-up is - is it a DVD recorder/player that was recording from the TV, or recording onto a separate hard drive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

carosio   186 #4 Posted December 6, 2018 Usually connected by SCART lead, HDMI lead to one of the HDMI sockets on TV, or sometimes 3 separate leads, Y video and 2 audio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
zach   235 #5 Posted December 7, 2018 6 hours ago, glitterballs said: is the aerial lead going into the DVD recorder? It's been a long time but that's how mine was.  Aerial from outside to aerial IN on recorder. Another lead from aerial OUT on recorder to the telly.  It might be worth giving the exact model numbers to get a more definite answer.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

zach   235 #7 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Just had a quick look and on both pictures it shows analogue and digital TV inputs... you want digital  Aerial from outside to Digital aerial IN  Then run an aerial lead from Digital TV out, up to your TV  See if that works   Edited December 7, 2018 by zach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

carosio   186 #9 Posted December 7, 2018 Looks like an early model Digital Video Recorder, although she's lost the will to persevere!  Yes, it's outside aerial lead to "digital aerial In", and "digital aerial Out" connects to aerial socket on TV which will route the aerial signal through, but to obtain the best picture from DVR, it's HDMI lead to HDMI on TV. When DVR is switched on, sometimes it auto selects to screen rather than having to select (on the remote) the input from the 3 HDMI sockets.  It can get trying connecting the myriad of inputs and connectors to modern tvs. I have a VCR, Youview box, DVD player, a digital to analogue convertor for hifi system and a satellite dish, all into the tv.
