Hi,
have SONY 46x3000 (does this have an integrated SKY decoder?) a SONY HDD Recorder (HDMI output) and SKY box. What is the best way to connect them. Am i right with:

SKY box -- Scart --> Recorder ---HDMI --> TV

It surely can't be that simple!!??

Thank for any advice in advance

Best Regards

Would there be any advantage wiring up as follows

SKY to TV (SCART)
HD/DVD Recorder to TV (HDMI)
Signal to TV (coaxial0

would i stll be able to record using the hdd recorder, or do i also need a signal directly into that, too?

No that will not let you record off the Sky box.

Connect as follows.

Aerial --> DVDR
DVDR RF out ---> TV


SKY TV SCART ---> DVDR I/P SCART
DVDR O/P SCART ----> TV RGB SCART (prob both are RGB)

HDMI from DVDR to TV.

P.S. If you are able (ie don't live in a single feed flat etc) replace the Sky box with Sky+, it'll be the best money you've ever spent on video equipment.
