Can I record from Humax Freesat box to Video Recorder?

vicwatson

And if so - How please?

Could do with some help ins/outs of setting up the cabelling too if it's possible.

The programme I want to tape is on BBC One HD but I know it won't come out on my tape in HD !! But how will it record or will I record it on the regular BBC One Channel?

All help appreciated as haven't a clue about this.


TIA

Yes you can just plug into scart socket. Same thing for DVD recorders.

Sorry advance warning - I am going to sound thick here !:)

Plug the video recorder into the scart socket on the freesat box?

I have one cable coming from the wall going direct to my tv, and another going to my Freesat box.

Do I need to put the cable that's going direct to my into the back of the video recorder or how the heck do I set it up?

I assume I leave the cable that's going direct to my Freesat box in situ?

Just as a matter of interest, what's the model no. of the Humax receiver?

Humax Foxsat HD is all that's on the front.

It's this one here -

You can record the programme in HD on the Humax and then output the recording to the video recorder by scart no problem. You can probably do it at time of actual recording if you've set a recording reminder on the Humax and then, if the cables are set up, you just press Rec on the VCR when it starts.

Used to do it all the time with my DVD recorder. The VCR won't record in HD but you might as well be outputting the best quality source to it.

It's not a PVR, it's a regular Humax HD box

In that case, set it up as per page 17 of the user manual. If you don't have the original it can be downloaded.
