Default Recording freeview channels ??

Is it possible to record freeview channels on an ordinary vcr ?? I know there are dvd recorders advertised which have an inbuilt freeview receiver within them which are advertised as being able to record freeview but just not sure if its possible with an ordinary video recorder ??

currant tv has a built in freeview receiver.

anyone advise ??

P.S any recommendations for a cheap dvd recorder with built in hard drive . any bargains out there just now ??

I would expect that if the Freeview receiver is built in to the TV you're donald ducked.

Although as it's made of grapes it might not be a problem.

Currant may refer to:

The Zante currant, a small variety of seedless grape

Redcurrants and blackcurrants, berries of the genus Ribes

Currant tomatoes, an extra-small variety of cherry tomato

or a Raisin - but not a TV set

A fully wired scart lead should allow the Freeview signal to return to the VCR from the TV, setting the VCR channel to AV1 or AV2 depending on which socket it's looping through. I think ! Have a look in your TV instructions, it should tell you what to do there.

This will work if you follow the instructions Just make sure your video is set to the right AV1 channel and test before taping something you actually wanted to see!!!!!!!!!!

These people are quite good for decent prices -
Total Digital - The Home of Audio Visual Entertainment
They also have a landline that you can speak to people on about the order/delivery which is quite useful!!

That would make no difference (nor would using a mac ) as the word is spelt correctly, however you have used the wrong word as it were. The only way round this is to note that currant is to do with grapes and currents to do with TVs. lodge in brain and remember
