Incorrect. There is a single lead connecting the Virgin box to the DVD

I don't think I've ever heard of a tuner signal being carried by
scart.

so what model recorder was this again?

I'm not sure - it's not mine, but a friend's which I installed. I tried
plugging in the aerial but the recorder failed to find any channels when
it did an autoscan. So then I plugged the Virgin V+ box in to the
recorder via the scart lead, rescanned, and the recorder detected all the
digital channels available via the Virgin STB.

If it was a Virgin+ box then it would have had two built in tuners and its
own hard drive recorder. You were probably watching one channel on one
tuner and recording the output from the other via analogue, that's if you
were recording it on the DVD recorder and not on the Virgin+ box itself.

Who are you and what have you done with Aggy?

So if the channel that the DVD is recording is not coming via the Virgin
box, where do you think it comes from? Out of the ether?

You snipped the part where I explained what's going on. Which part(s) of it
did you disagree with?

I guess until you actually tell us the model of the recorder it's
going to remain your word only.

OK, just to clarify then ... there is NO aerial connection to either the
TV or the recorder, and just a SCART connection from the Virgin box to
the recorder (and presumably another SCART from the recorder to the TV),
is that correct?

Yet you claim the TV (via the recorder) can watch one channel while the
recorder records another? How on *earth* do you think two channels make
it along the virgin-recorder SCART at once?

While there *is* a facility to upload e.g. tuning data or to control
timer recordings between two SCART connectd devices, but I've found it
typically works badly enough with two devices from the same
manufacturer, let alone different manufacturers, the way you described
it "apparently working" is nothing short of miraculous.

It really does seem likely that what you are seeing is the Virgin box
providing ALL the tuning and recording functionality, with its output
being passed through one SCART to the recorder and straight through
another SCART to the TV.

Dunno about you, but to me the north-east is Middlesborough and above, as
far as Berwick. A long way from here.

As a Yorkshireman from Batley I'd consider Northumberland and County
Durham as the North East.
