How do I connect up a TV (with two scart sockets), DVD player, VCR and Freeview box, so that I can record from Freeview on the VCR? I recently got a new aerial fitted which has a v g Freeview signal. Thanks

When wanting to record from freeview, switch video to AV channel.
That's how mines set up anyway and I can record stuff.
We record from Freeview regularly. This is how ours is set up.
SCART Splitter to TV (about �10 from Argos, Index etc.)
Ariel to freeview box.
Scart from Freeview box to VCR
Scart from VCR to Splitter
Scart from DVD to Splitter
Can't record DVD's anyway so this works fine - also if you are watcing a DVD you have to turn off the Freeview box and vice versa.
Hope this helps
