❖ 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 correctly 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.
Watching other channels while you are recording a digital
satellite programme
If your equipment is connected using RF leads, as in connection
methods 1 or 2, 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.
Notes
Your VCR must be correctly connected to your set-top box. For
further information, see pages 10 and 11.
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.
