Linking vhs player to a sky hd box

Bear109 · 27-10-2010, 10:38

Just upgraded from basic sky box to sky hd and has just been installed : ) very happy with it!! Only thing is, is that basic box had 2 scart sockets at the back of it so I was able to connect VHS to it but hd box only has 1 scart socket at back!
I know hd box records progs onto box but I'm a big athletics fan and like recording it on video as I keep them and have done for many yrs! Also memory would all be used up after a few days of athletics : )
Any help on how to connect VHS would be fab thank u : ) simple instructions please as lady with not alot of knowledge about cables and connections : )

Thanks for ur reply : ) I tried a splitter but the video av1 channel didn't come up! Does that mean I might need to re tune the video? Sorry for being thick

I haven't got an hd tv either! Just to make it harder to solve : )

AV1 wouldn't come up, as you still only have one output from the Sky box - make sure the VHS box is on the output from the sky box, and try and record; the splitters only cost a couple of pounds, so may be worth trying.

Do I place the splitter into the sky box and then place VHS scart and sky scart into it? Sorry!

Ok I placed scart splitter into back of sky box and placed sky scart and VHS scart into splitter! I set VHS to record but when I played back screen was blank!! So I'm going to try re tuning : )
