A friend recently bought a Philips DVD recorder (dont know the model number), & is unable to record anything other than BBC 1&2, ITV1, & C4 programmes, none of the other freeview programmes will record. Any thoughts as to what may be causing this, & a possible solution.
Thanks

When recording from freeview, you have to tell the dvd recorder where the signal is comming from, so you will have to select (scart) on dvd player or front av if the freeview box is connect via the red white and yellow on front.

The dvd recorder will n ot automaticcly tune to the freeview channels.

when setting up the dvd recorder you have to select scart or front av, how ever connected , when setting up the timers on dvd recorder.

Thanks Raymog,y problem solved.
