Most TVs will auto switch to the most recent SCART connection powered up.
But most allow you to switch back to any SCART or indeed the internal
tuner after this has happened - I've not come across one which won't. But
non of this should effect recording from a FreeView tuner to the DVD -
you'd normally use the record SCART on the FreeView box into the aux SCART
on the DVD.

Many thanks for that Dave. When I finally got back to the problem, I
found that it was the way that the buttons on the remote were pressed.
Press them in one direction and the DVD re recorder would take over.
Press them another way and you were correct.

Once again, many thanks.
