Extra information
Recording a digital satellite programme
If you have a VCR you can use it to record satellite programmes from your set-top
box.
To record a satellite programme:
1. Make sure your set-top box is switched on and tuned to the channel you wish
to record.
2. Set your VCR to record at the appropriate time, making sure that your VCR
is set to record its ‘channel for digital satellite TV’, or if your set-top box is
connected to your VCR via a SCART lead, making sure your VCR is set to
record its appropriate AV channel.
For further information about your VCR, refer to your VCR’s User Guide.
Notes
Your VCR must be correctly connected to your set-top box. For further information, see page 8.
Some programmes are copy-protected and may not play back correctly if you record them.
While you are setting the recording up, you may wish to make sure your TV is switched to its
‘VCR channel’ or the AV channel that you use when you are watching videos, so you can check
that the VCR is showing what you want to record.
Watching other channels while you are recording a digital satellite
programme
If your equipment is connected using RF leads, as in connection method 1, you can
watch any terrestrial channel while you record digital satellite TV, by changing channel
with your TV’s remote control.
You can also watch any digital channel while you record a terrestrial channel.
However, you cannot watch one digital channel while you record a different digital
channel. If you use your set-top box’s remote control to change channel while you are
recording, your VCR will record the channel change.
