Thanks guys.

Just to clarify, we only really need to record in the lounge and are quite happy with the setup we now have there apart from the ageing VHS recorder. When we buy a new HDD/DVD recorder I'd like to know if it'll be possible for us to record from either Freeview or the VM box without having to faff around changing cables. So, if I bought a Freeview enabled recorder would I be able to connect both the aerial coaxial cable and the VM box to it in order that we'd be able to simply select which source to record from and be able to view from the other source on the TV at the same time?

Altis - thanks for that but at my time of life that's rather too complex...
