I now have established that there is one way of connecting the cables
which enables me to see freeview and to record and play discs on my dvd
recorder.
This is as follows:

1. Main aerial into Freeviw antenna in
2. RF cable from TV out on Freeview to Antenna in on DVDR
3. RF cable from TV out on DVDR to antenna in on TV VCR combo.
4. Scart from VCR on Freeviw to Scart IN on DVDR
5. Scart from OUT on DVDR to TV VCR combo

This would be fantastic except for the exceptionally poor picture. I've
tried to tune the TV, Freeview and the DVDR but to no success. Boo hoo!
;o)

is the picture poor on:
a) the dvd
b) the freeview channels
c) the vcr
d) normal terrestrial channels??

....give me a grading for each of the above and we can narrow down the
problem.

Hi B,

Thanks for replying!

Well, with the cables arranged as I said, the picture is exceptionally poor on freeview. Normal terrestrial channels are ok, not great but watchable. When playing a pre-recodrded disc in the DVDR, the picture is perfect. I'm not sure about the VCR because at the moment its not working properly anyway. When I play videos the picture 'slips'. Thats why I was considering a new TV. Its only just occurred to me, but might this be why I cant get things to work?

Looking forward to your reply.

Floss.
