If your recorder has 2 scart sockets and will record RGB (most don't but some Panasonics will) then I'd recommend putting the recorder between the STB and the TV. This is because the STBs only output RGB on the TV socket and not the VCR one. Otherwise, wire it up like it's a VCR in the diagram above.

It is important to add the RF connections as this provides a second signal path and allows you to do two things at once. There's a more detailed description here.
