Hi everyone
Just purchased my first DVD HDD recorder, a Panasonic DMR EX85 connected to a Sony KLVL23 LCD TV with a Scart lead to AV2 and connected back to my Sky box with a Scart. There is also a Scart connecting my Sky box ro the AV1 input on the TV.
Well pleased with the DVD playback but I'm now trying work my through how to record from my standard Sky Receiver so I can play about with the editing functions but I'm not sure about the best way to go forward and I have a couple of questions:
Does the receiver have to be tuned to the correct digital channel in order to record the programme I want. This would mean that if I wanted to record two programmes on different channels at different times I would have to manually change the channel myself between recordings. Is this correct as it looks like the recorder can only be set to record whatever happens to be on AV2 (used videoplus code to set the timer)
Does the TV Guide on the Recorder only show channels picked up through an aerial and decoded by the Panasonics own digital tuner. Not clearly indicated in the manual so I don't want to waste time trying to understand that bit if I can't use it
Its been a very long time since I recorded anything from TV (with a VCR) so I'm about 6 years behind the times so anyone who can help me get the best out of my new toy would be welcome.
Cheers
