Hi all.
During the Obama Inaugruation, I wanted to record the occasion so that my wife could watch it later on once she got home..
I have the ariel connection straight into my 42LG7000 & it is FULLY tuned with 5 analogue channels (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4 C5), Loads of digital channels, & numerous DAB radio stations.
When selecting to view AV1 from the 'input' button, it duely shows the menu screen from my HDD/DVD recorder PLAYER combo on the TV. (My external device connected to AV1) (The scart IS two way, thus sending a signal out (to record?) & also RECEIVING the image back, so that you can watch it ... a DVD for example.
Indeed when monitoring in the record/pause screen, I AM seeing the channel that the tele is pushing out through AV1 to my external machine, so that it can record it.
Now here's the prob.
The external device is a record/playback device only, totally at the mercy of what the AV /scart sends/recieves & has NOTHING to do with the choice of channel to watch/ record via it.
Therefore how the heck DO you choose the channel sent out from the TV TO BE recorded!??
The channel that WAS being sent out was Analogue channel 1 - in this case BBC1 ... but there was NO way to change that channel to BBC2, ITV & so on... Let alone any of the digital channels. - And YES i WAS able to record it & thank goodness BBC1 were broadcasting what i wanted to record.
But what if it had been on BBC2 ? - There was NO aparrent way to tell the TV to send BBC2 out of the AV1 as opposed to BBC1 that was their by default!?
Seems a crazy oversight to NOT allow the user to select which channel is sent out the AV connection, as this almost defeats the Purpose of having an ariel connection on the tele, if LG completly blocks the means to choose what can be recorded from what is received from the TV's ariel socket.
The ability to record freeview channels etc is not illegal per-se especially for personal use... Thats why we've had VHS's for decades & now HDD & DVD recorders (like i have)
Before you ask "what aren't you connecting your ariel via the HDD/DVD recorder?" - The answer is that it is analogue only. And even if i did, it would defeat the purpose of a TV with an Analogue/digital tuner built in!?
The issue here is WHY a user can't seem to choose what channel is sent out of the AV1 for recording via SCART.
Perhaps someone can also try this to confirm if this is an issue, or me being stupid, in which case HOW do i do it?
Any Ideas?
Cheers
