Freeview/ one scart socket riddle

[claxton]

How can I set up to record onto my VHS recorder from Freeview when the TV and video have only one scart socket each (the Freeview box has 2)? (I have got enough scart leads and co-axial cables.) Cheers.

its called a scart splitter

I use a SCART splitter as recommended by woofgang but the cabling is messy. A tidier solution would be to connect the Freeview to the TV and the VCR by scart and use the antenna (75ohm ) connection from the VCR to the TV.

Not quite as good picture-wise but for VHS standard quality you wont notice much difference.

You need to have your video channel and Freeview channel on different presents though, oherwise you can't record terestrial TV if your watching a freeview channel
