    I'm hoping somebody on here can help with this.
    I connected a DVD recorder to NTL's analogue service via the RF connection and then from the scart output to the TV. The recorder will play DVDs but won't display any TV channels, a second, different brand recorder gave the same result. The same setup works perfectly with a vhs recorder, where am I going wrong?. Incidentally the recorder works perfectly with satellite.

    I think that unlike a VHS recorder, you have to watch any tv channels stored on a DVD recorder's tuner via the SCART connection and not the RF output. Thats the way my Sony DVD recorder works anyway. You would have to select the SCART socket on your TV that your DVDR is connected to first, then tune and store channels on it.

    Yeah, that's the way it's set up but I just get "no signal".
    I'm wondering if it's because it's an analogue system and why that would make a difference.
