Basically I have my combo TV and a freeview box which I'd like to
connect to the DVD recorder.
If anyone knows of a way around the problem I would be very pleased to
hear from you. I'm getting disheartened!!

Try this:
1.connect the aerial to the freeview box.
2. connect the freeview box via scart to the dvd recorder. This will
allow you to record in better quality from freeview - just select the
dvd's 'AV' /'ext' input.
3. connect an rf cable from the freeview's output to the dvd aerial
input.(this will allow you to record from normal analogue tv channels).

4. connect another rf cable from the dvd 's RFoutput to the aerial
socket on the combo.

5. Finally, tune the combo Tv in to the dvd recorder. (before starting
the tuning process, play a disc you know well so you know when you find
the signal from the dvd unit) .
hope this helps, B.

Hi B

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I will definitely give this a try. However I have more questions.... Is an RF cable the same as a 'coaxial' cable?? Also I have two scart points on the DVDR, will the scart lead from the freeview box go into the in or out scart? Sorry if I'm asking silly questions. Just desperate get it right!!
