Re: How to video?
Firstly Welcome to the site...

Are you using SCART cables (thick cable with a 21 pin connector on each end) - If so your TV will have one or two on the rear as will the video, DVD and TW Cable (hopefully!) - In my opinion have the AV1 from the Video going to the AV1 or AV2 on the TV and then the AV1 from the DVD to the other port on the TV. Your TW box hopefully has a SCART AV1 (OUT?) which should go into the AV2 (IN) on the Video.

To tape anything this way you would record channel AV2 (any signal going downt the scart would be recorded therefore the TW box controls the signal).

Alternatively, you'll be using COAX (standard TV wire with round plugs on each end - hopefully you have the right combination of male/female cos you aint going to get any now!)

From the aerial (outside) this should go into the TW box (UHF IN) you then need a cable from the TW UHF Out into the Video UHF IN. The final wire is the UHF Out from the Video into the back of the TV. Depending on the DVD player I doubt you have a UHF Cable/signal so this would still be SCART.

Good Luck! - I hope this makes sense?
