I have
1 TV with 2 x Scart 1 Analogue tuner
1 iPlayer digibox with 2 x Scarts, 1 tuner
1 Hitachi VCR with 2 x Scarts and 1 analogue tuner
1 RDR-HDX870 DVD/HDD Recorder 2 x Scarts and 2 x tuners (1 anaolgue, 1 digital)
I successfully connected all the equipment (WITHOUT the VCR), so that I can record one digital channel while watching another.
I have an AV switch box with one output (connects to TV) and 3 inputs and it's possible to convert one of the inputs to an output. (ie record from B to A or C to A)
Now I want to add a VCR to the mix, so that I can also watch Video tapes and record from VCR to DVD or HDD.
If I just daisy chain the ariels starting with
TV to VCR,
VCR to DVD Analogue tuner,
DVD Analogue tuner to DVD digital tuner.
DVD digital tuner to iPlayer tuner
iPlayer tuner to wall.
And then this with the scarts....
Switch box to AV1 of TV
VCR - Switch box
VCR-iPlayer
iPlayer to DVD
DVD to TV (AV2)
Do I even HAVE to use the switch box?
How can I set it up to record from one digital source while watching the other, dub Video tapes to DVD/HDD and watch video tapes without swapping leads.
Many thanks.
