1. Get a scart lead, connect it from the VCR Scart socket on the back of the V Box to one of the spare Scart sockets on the DVD recorder.

2. Put the V box on the channel you want to record.

3. On your DVD recorder change the record channel to the Scart input and then record, job done.

Step 3 is different on all DVD recorders so I cannot tell you exactly how to do this.

Bear in mind this is nowhere near as user friendly as a V+ box. You have to put the v box on the channel you want to record and then cannot watch another channel (you can watch freeview separately in your case).
