Samsung LCD Freeview Output ?

[Morrissey_4]

I have just bought a Samsung LE32R74BDX Digital TV with integrated freeview.

Is there an easy way to record the freeview channels out of the TV into my DVD recorder or VCR ?

Thanks

Here's a reply from Samsung when I emailed them a few months ago regarding my 32" R74:

In reference to the questions you have asked, the answers are detailed
below.

1. Will my VCR be able to receive and record freeview channels from this
TV?

You can record Freeview by Scart from the TV to AV Scart on the
Recorder. You then need to put the Recorder channel on the AV input you
have connected the Scart to. You have to watch the Freeview channel you
wish to record as turning channel will mean you start to record the
channel you turn to.

2. If so, is it possible to watch terrestrial TV whilst recording from
Freeview?

You will be able to record terestrial channels BBC 1 and 2, ITV, Channel
4 and Channel five whilst watching freeview as long as youconnect the
aerial to the Recorder then to the TV and select the channel you wish to
record on the VCR.

3. In order to record from Freeview onto VCR, can the TV be left in
Stand-By mode or does it require for itto be 'powered-up'?

In standby mode the power to the Scart connectionsare terminated and if
recording is attempted whilst the TV is off the recorder will record a
blank screen. Regrettably these are limitations associated with integrated freeview receivers
