That could explain it as I've used all various combinations of cables but always with the HDMI cable in place (as I want it for HD content)
So, you're suggesting that in order to use the 'record to VCR/DVD' setup that the only possibility is to have VCR or DVD that uses the other HDMI socket of the TV (if you have one - I do, but it's connected to a DVD player, not recorder).
It seems an odd setup especially since you need the first HDMI socket to be used in order to watch the (pretty non-existent) HD channels.

Do those that record to VCR/DVD not have an HDMI connection, and if so they then do they disconnect it first to use the 'record to VCR/DVD' method? But surely they couldn't the view the V+ content on screen? I'm confused and bemused by the whole idea !
