Are there any RF cables involved in the set up ?

[niall campbell]

well you tell me

what digi box is it? sky+ ?

do you use the video to record or is it just for playing an odd tape?

I stand corrected----- should there be any RF cables involved in your advised setup?
i use the video for recording and watching but in addition I want to transfer vcr tapes to dvd discs
the Digibox is Wharfedale.

If you connect as follows

VCR --->digibox VCR SCART
digibox TV SCART --> DVDR input SCART
DVDR output SCART -> TV RGB SCART

Set all to RGB where possible. The above assumes that the DVDR will pass through signals and that you can record using the DVDR tuner(s) whilst the digibox is passing through - most will let you do this is recording of the EPG.

The above will let you record off the digibox in RGB and also transfer recordings from the VCR to the DVDR. It is also the easiest set up to use.

However it will not let you record off the digibox whilst watching the DVDR.

aerial --> VCR aerial in
VCR aerial out --> DVDR aerial in
DVDR aerial out --> TV aerial in.
