I have 2 video recorders, one with scart and the other without.
I also have a free view box with scart. A DVD player and a TV with one
scart.

The Video with scart has two sockets on the back.

What I want to do is record to video from free view, but having gone
through a long bout of illness, I cant think how to wire things up.

I have daisy chained the video from coax through all machines, but I
have got bogged down with how to connect the scart connectors.

I have a 3 way scart switch box that should be able to switch the input
to the second video, but I suspect that I am not understanding too well
as to how it should be done.

Anyone help me please.

I would Wire
A - Video
B - DVD
C - Freeview

If the Freeview box has 2 scarts I would also connect it to the second
input on the video.

if not my box have a button labelled somthing like A-C which connects
the output of C to the input side of A.

if you then View output A once you have the video input correctly set
(names vary) you will see the freeview output, and video on screen
display over the top.
