DVD-R and Freesat

Kumsheen

I'm thinking of getting the Freesat system in, and i'm wondering if i will still be able to record programs off the television with the DVD-R player i already have at home?

Does the freesat box connect to the back of the DVD player like the roof aerial does?

I know you can get boxes that can record, pause etc but i just want to see if my current equipment will work.

AFAIK, most of the newer ''OFFICIAL'' freesat boxes don't have rf in/outputs, it's just scart, hdmi. It has no relevance whatsoever to your roof aerial.

To get the older analogue rf in/out you would probably have to go with one of the unknown brand fta/combo boxes.

Your DVD recorder should have a scart connection though which would be much better quality anyways, compared to the rf connection. :cool:

Simple solution,just loop the freesat box through the dvd recorder via scart,you get the freesat picture on tv and can record it and if you want to play a dvd that signal simply overides the freesat signal.Two scart leads is all that's needed and job done.
