At the end of the recent What Interconnects etc thread Altis said:

Correct. Routing the RF via the STB will achieve nothing useful. As you say, what you need is:
aerial --> recorder (RF in)
recorder (RF out) --> TV
Indeed, this will allow you to simultaneously watch terrestial and record NTL. And probably vice versa too.

How exactly do you record from ntl to a DVD recorder and what are the restrictions? I've read the manual and am not much the wiser. Also, are the rf interconnections suggested by Altis essential. I have aerial to STB to DVD to TV.
