Maybe 'tuned' was a poor choice of words on my part.
Yes you can disable HDMI and revert to SD format via Scart direct to the TV - afraid I'm not sure which menu to do it in tho! Doing so would activate both scarts (and afaik the RF output).
As it stands, with the scart input from V+ (when it's enabled) the DVD will recieve the current recording selected on the V+ during 'record to DVD'. On the DVD you should have the option to change the 'Input' device, probably AV1 on the DVD to select the Scart input.
This does not allow the DVD to recieve (tune) the standard terrestrial channels - that would need an RF (aerial) lead from the V+ RF output to the RF input on the DVD (with HDMI disabled). Then you could 'tune' the DVD to recieve the 5 regular channels and record them independantly of the V+ channel.
Hope that makes sense.
