Re: How to video?
Have you got analogue cable, or digital?

If it's digital, then on the back of the box there will be two SCART sockets. One is labelled TV, and the other VCR. Connect these to the appropriate devices, and it all should work -- you should be able to record TW using the SCART input to the VCR, and also play video.

Some VCRs have more than one SCART socket for input, but only use one for output, so try both if playback doesn't work straight away.

The round cables (called coaxial) are really for use only on systems that don't have SCART sockets -- the picture and sound is generally inferior using these.

The DVD player should connect straight to the TV via a SCART connection.
