Re: Recording from VM set top box
 

So you're saying with that setup, you're only getting the Freeview signal through both AV1 & AV2 inputs on the TV?

Are you sure you're switching the TV to the AV2 input to watch VM channels? From your description you should be seeing the PACE STB output on AV2...

Out of interest, what is the Goodmans' VCR SCART connected to?

Re: Recording from VM set top box
 

the scart lead in the goodmans is connected to a scart socket on
the set top box labelled vcr
thanks

Well, as people have already established that the Goodmans can't record from the PACE box, remove that cable completely.

Turn off the Goodmans, set your TV to the AV2 input & see if you can receive the cable channels.
