If brought from a retail electronics shop then they usually offer a set up service, at of course a cost, their engineer should connect and explain the working of said equipment.i am new on here just joined yesterday so if this is wrong i am sorry i have just bought a humax recorder to record freeview programmes of the tele the manual is complicated anyone tell me in plain english how to connect it up.cheers,
its a new tele 3 weeks old 32inch panasonic it has an hdmi output and my recorder is humaxhas it got HDMI output (look like computer usb) and you tv? is it a modern one? you need to tell us more about your equipment.
think i have got it i connected the ariel to my recorder and the scart lead to my tele and recorder and managed to record robson greene fishing programme why should i use scart leads or hdmi is there any difference?Is it your humax recorder PVR with freeview? or freesat? and you want to use it to record from the tuner built in in your tv? correct? if so you don't need to as you can use the humax tuner it self to record from it's own tuner. Just like we used to do with the VCR back in the days and watch another ch on using the tv tuner.

connected the scart and the ariel its working recorded robson greenes fishing last night at my age (73) all instructions are difficult should i use the scart lead or hdmi?Come on the user manual cant be that difficult.
Have you got the cables connected?
I would expect antenna in, scart or hdmi out to tv.
Then manual scan for channels.
HDMI it's present technology. SCART 80's 90's.... If you have both, just use HDMI...
and if you are writing to forums and using a computer you are not old!!!! I know people that are 21 22 years old that can't even turn a computer on....
Now connect your external aerial or satellite cable to the Humax and then the black cable that camed with the humax to the tv antenna input.
Now turn the humax + the TV on and press (usually it located at) top left on your TV remote control and select HDMI 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 (usually the tv will auto detect where is connected).
now got to the channel you want to watch on your humax. (hopefully you have tuned it allready) and press REC.
dont know what i am doing wrong i am recording and playing back but when i try to use my remote for the tele i get a no signal message across the screen
