How do I connect my Philips VCR in order to tape Homechice programmes?
I'm also planning on buying LiteOn dvd recorder. Shall I connect it in the same way as VCR?
Please help!!

You need to loop the output from the HC box through the VCR input and then take the VCR output to the TV. Be aware that you will almost certainly lose the RGB output from the HC box when you do this and be left with a composite signal. The DVD recorder would be connected in an identical way, but may do RGB pass-through. Do not do what I did and use what I thought was the second 'output' on the HC box - it is actually a loopthrough for DVD player or games console.

Be aware - I think HC cuts off the video feed to a box that hasn't had the channel changed for a period of time, making scheduled recording of more than about a day impossible. Also you obviously can't change the HC channel when recording so can only setup to record off the channel you are on.
