*IF* that's how you read the OP (there is some ambiguity) then OP is
wrong. The digital tuner is compatible with DVB-T. The combo-recorder
will only be able to record from DVB-S or DVB-C in conjunction with the
relevant STB, but the recorder's digital tuner is not involved in the
process, simply an analogue input.

Aggy, as usual, has confused the issue. He's also cross-posted this thread

Aggie, as usual, has shown that you know NOTHING!

at a point where he's cut any context that shows what I was trying
(unsuccessfully) to explain to him. Here is an earlier part of the thread:

Me: A friend of mine has just bought a Combo VHS/DVD recorder. Built-in
digital tuner as well so it's compatible with Freeview, Sky and Virgin.
Makes it easy to record onto video or DVD...

Aggy: So you are claiming it can pick up Satellite, Cable and Freeview.
How?

Me: I said it is compatible. Maybe this is another word you don't
understand the meaning of. The recorder has a digital tuner. So you plug
the receiver of
your choice into the recorder using a scart lead. It can then record the
digital channel of your choice without having to change any settings on
the
receiver itself, thus enabling you to record one digital channel whilst
watching another. Also makes it incredibly easy to record a programme,
because the channel guide and programme schedule are available on the
recorder. So all you have to do is select the programme you want to record
direct from the guide.

You are talking out of your ARSE as usual.

Am I right in thinking the OP assumes a digital tuner will allow him
to receive SKY and cable?

No. That's what Aggie understood but, as we all know, Aggie has

IGNORANT just like him.

I don't think there's a machine on the
market capable of this. I guess that's another thing that isn't made
clear for some people, that it's a digital terrestrial tuner. Of
course some people might have seen sky users mention recording to
their DVD machines but that's done through an AV socket from a real
SKY box.

Which is what Stephen was talking about.

No he wasn't.

This exchange reminds me of a barney that took place in the 1960s between
the Polish workshop manager and some of the engineers in a TV repair shop.
The manager was a remnant of WWII and he had never really learnt English.
Finally he yelled, "You *******s tink I know **** notting! I tell you I know
**** all!"

If you have a Freeview box connected to a recorder with an analogue
tuner, how do you think you are going to watch one Freeview channel
whilst recording another?

Look at the IGNORANT talking about things he knows nothing about. How is
a video recorder with a digital tuner which picks up Freeview going to
enable you to watch another channel on Sky or Virgin. Just because it's
got a digital tuner doesn't mean it will give you cable or satellite
capability if all the tuner picks up is Freeview.

Look Aggy, I know you're a self proclaimed expert on everything, but the
reality is that there's a gaping chasm between the things you know and the
things you *think* you know.

The reality is that you are an IGNORANT and you have been proven to be so by
every reply to this thread.

wrong.

I prefer combo VHS/DVD for now.

Not particularly. This thread has proved that you didn't understand what I
was talking about.

Come on then Aggy - give me your explanation for how this works. One source
of signal - the Virgin STB. This is plugged into both the DVD recorder and
the television. One programme is being recorded by the DVD player, another
programme on a different channel is being watched on the TV.

The EPG is displayed by the menu on the DVD recorder. Click on the programme
you want to record using the programme menu guide accessed via the DVD
recorder. The DVD recorder manages to record the correct programme on the
correct channel without me having to touch the Virgin STB.

The Virgin box is plugged into the DVD recorders analogue input and you are
using your Virgin remote to select the channel on the Virgin box and tell
the DVD recorder to record using Smart Link/Q Link or an active SCART pin or
whatever method your Virgin box uses to activate a recorder to record.
