Hi, i recently moved house and thought if i labelled all the wires i could just plug them back in where they came from and everything would be fine but i can't tune sky into the vcr anymore
heres my setup:

Panasonic Quintrix T.V:

TV-AV1 to TV Scart on digibox
TV-AV2 to Line-1 tv on DVD recorder
Ariel socket - rf lead going to out socket on DVD recorder

Grundid digibox:

VCR scart to Line3/decoder on dvd
RF out 1 to aerial socket on vcr
Aerial in to RF out on vcr

Sony RGR-GX3 DVD recorder:

outside aerial to aerial in

LG vcr:

Aerial In to Aerial out on dvd
RF out to Ariel In on digibox

I think thats everything

Theres a scart socket on the vcr not being used should i buy a double scart socket and lead and attach it to the vcr scart socket on the digibox?
Thanks in advance
Sandra

Did you mark just the cables or the individual plugs? If you really replaced the cables exactly as before then maybe one of them is not fully wired and needs to be reversed.

Have you moved a long way? Is it possible thet the channel the Sky box is outputting on is occupied by a TV channel where you are now?

Sandra, your RF cabling looks a bit suspect. Also, here's a simple way to connect this lot with the minimum of fuss.

Scart connections -
Sky TV scart ---> DVDR AV2
DVDR AV1 ---> TV AV1 (all RGB)
Sky VCR scart ---> VCR AV2
optionally add VCR AV1 ---> TV AV2

RF connections -
External aerial ---> Sky RF in
Sky RF out ---> DVDR RF in
DVD RF out ---> VCR RF in
VCR RF out ---> TV RF in

When recording to DVD or to VCR us scart AV2 (Sky program) as input unless you want a separate channel (say) on the VCR so select 1 (for BBC1) etc.

Come back if you need more help.

Rgds,
Scorp
