To go back to your original post and answer the question above...

Since you have a SONY KDL32T3000 TV, you can use the TV's tuner to pause and record live TV (actually chase playback) using SONY's SMARTLINK feature via a SCART connection.

Page 87 of the manual tells you how to do this.

Using pages 149/150 of the manual, check that the "TV Pause" function is set to "TV's Tuner".

You can download the TV's preset programme positions using the "Download from TV" of "Auto Setting" in the "Analog Tuner" setup (see p 133). Note that this only seems to be an option that is available for the ANALOG TUNER.

The "Pause TV" doesn't work if the programme positions are set differntly in the DVD Recorder and the TV, if you are watching TV via an external source (eg a VCR or Sky box), if you are not using a SCART connection between the TV and DVD Recorder or if the TV doesn't support the SMARTLINK feature.
