Look for 2 scarts out so you can record and watch something different.


How does this work?

I was under the impression that it was a single signal receiver.

The usual configuration is

one scart lead from Set Top Box to TV - watch prog
one scart lead from Set Top Box to Recorder - record freeview
one scart lead from Recorder to TV - watch replay.

If you have/will get a hard disc recorder that can record something, and
play back something else at the same time, or let you catch up on a prog
while it's still being recorded, you need the extra output.

It's also easier operationally - freeview is AV1, recorder is AV2

But doesn't the Freeview box output the same signal to both scart
sockets, so you can't watch and record different Freeview channels at
the same time?
