There is a scart connection from the NTL that can be plugged into a scart on the VCR.

It then depends how your VCR is then connect to your TV. I can have a look at it if you would like.

The NTL Box has a dual scart cable coming out of it,
You need to connect one end to the back of your tv and one end to the back of your vcr.

Set your VCR to channel 0 or the AUX channel and set the NTL box to the channel you want to record.

The benificial thing about this is that i think you can schedule the NTL box to automatically change channel depending on what you want to watch, so you can record several programmes in succession.

Thanks folks, I will check I have all the scarts are connected properly, if it still doesnt work. Astrofluff I will take you up on your offer, thanks

No probs LMC. There's always a wrong connection somewhere. I'm big into electircal layouts so 'should' have no problems figuring it out if you don't manage to sort it.
