DVD to Video qouldnt work anyway ... cos macrovision would kick in and when you start playin dvds they will flash ... best option ... DVD to TV ... Sky to Video ... Video to TV ...

max Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 How many scarts do you have altogether? My setup goes like this: Freeview HDD scart 1 to TV RGB scart Freeview HDD scart 2 to VCR scart 1 VCR scart 2 to TV scart 2 DVD to TV scart 3 As Col says, it should all tune itself through the Sky/Freeview box.

pinklady Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 This is all so confusing! .... Ive managed to tune in 12345+sky. for some reason my video isnt working on the TV .... cant tune it in or anything (ive got a scart from video into sky box and a scart from sky box into tv (dont know what im going to do when i want to watch a dvd!) p.s .. col2k5, my video machine only has one scart socket so i cant wire it as you suggested! and max .... tv only has 2 scart sockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 In order to tune your vcr in you'll need to connect the aerial from the sky box to the vcr using the vcr's r/f in. Then connect the vcr's r/f out to the TV's r/f in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
