Re: Vbox to HDDr / DVDr
To get the best quality picture from this setup, I connect the TV scart from the V box to the DVD, then scart from the DVD to the TV. Then set up the DVD to record the RGB signal from the V box (DVD instructions will tell you how). Recordings made in this way using SP mode will be the same quality as those origionally broadcast.

I also have a third connection from the VCR scart of the V box direct to the TV, so that I can record a freeview channel whilst watching a VM channel (at lower quality).

Most HDD/DVD combos also have a scart passthrough, so you can setup a timer recording on freeview, and can then continue to use the high quality RGB output from the V box even when recording freeview (DVD must be in standby mode).
