I have the following set up

Virgin box scart to TV scart
Video recorder scart to TV scart
RF cable from video to tv

How do I add a dvd recorder ?
I am wanting to transfer video tape to dvd disks.

Assuming virgin box has 2 SCARTs like most Sky and Freeview boxes .

Video SCART ---> Virgin VCR SCART
Virgin TV SCART --> DVDR input SCART
DVDR output SCART --> TV RGB SCART

Make sure that you have everything set to RGB for recording off Virgin (you'll have to go to composite though for recording off VCR).

When you press play on the VCR it will feed through the Virgin box and you can record directly onto the DVD recorder .
Using this set up you won't be able to record off the VCR whilst watching Virgin but apart from that it's the most convenient and best picture quality way to set things up.
