Weird recording problem

When I set my video recorder (yes, I still use one!) to tape off a Freeview channel, the programme tapes OK for a very short time, and then cuts short, leaving nothing but a blue screen.

I must make it clear that I do NOT change the Freebox channel whilst taping.

I just cannot think of one reason why this happens,

I have no problem taping off the terrestial channels.

Cheers

Barry

    How are you outputting the Freeview picture to the VCR? RF Modulated out from the TV, if that even exists? Scart from the TV to the VCR?

    The VCR will have an analogue internal tuner, which is why you can record those signals, but it does not have an internal Freeview tuner.

    Rgds.
