Hi everyone, (inc. Mods)

I'm new to this particular forum. I can see by some of these threads that there is a vast amount of knowledge out there.

So... without furhter ado.

My problem is; I cannot record any programme from my ntl: (pace) box.

Story... My TV has only 1 scart socket. I have a VCR and DVD player and of course my ntl: box. Before I bought my DVD player everything worked fine.

I've since had to buy one of those scart extension leads. It is colour coded; Red=Video, Yellow=DVD and Green=AUX... Great! Trouble is now I have this all connected up it does (or doesn't), do the following;
1. I cannot record from my ntl: box,
2. If I'm watching a channel on my ntl box (AV) and I then switch on my DVD player, I then get a cutting ghosting effect of that over what I'm watching.

Basically things have gone a bit haywire.

I think because I now have 2 devices going into the same scart (AV) that this may be my problem....BUT...What is the point of selling an extension scart lead if this problem occurs?

breathe piquet...
The best solutions are sometimes the easiest...please let this be one of them.
VMT in advance
