Hi all,
I'd like to record digital tv (freview) channels on my dvd hd recorder by using the 'timer' record option (ie different day/time) on the recorder. I know how to set up the recorder. The problem is:
-If the digital tv (freview capable) is turned off, the digital recorder does not record anything (well, black). I'd rather not leave the tv on for 3 weeks if i am on holiday just to record a few programmes...
-Ok, then I connected my old freeview box to the dvdhd recorder, which does not depend on the tv being switched on. All seemed fine until i discovered that the box turns itself off when left overnight. Thus, it's no use if i want to record something in a couple of days...
I could use the analogue connections to record the main 5 channels, but ideally i'd like to be able to record freeview channels too...
hopefully i am missing something?
thanks
